Building a Random Name Generator application.

Introduction

In this project, I built a text-based user interface that will take a input and output a list of random names from a pre-defined list.

Project Brief

This application with simulate randomly generating names from a pre-defined list. A use case could be: a set of new parents can't choose a name from a shortlist. Why not use Python to help!

The application:

• Takes a user input of shortlist names.
• Takes a second user input of how many names they want randomly selected from that shortlist. This should be a positive integer. The app should check if the input is valid.
• Prints to the user the randomly selected names.
