Is this what you mean?
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. >>> import random
  2. >>> random.choice([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0])
  3. 2
  4. >>>

no it bit like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. {x = int(raw_input('Enter a four digit number:'))
  2.  
  3. y = raw_input("choose operation (1)Addition (2)Subtraction (3)Multiplication (4)Division  ")
  4.  
  5. if (y == "1"):
  6.     su = randint(x()) +  randint(x())
  7.     print (su)}

Yeah, surely there is a way out .... so the idea is same .. we have to choose
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. random.choice(<list name>)
As we know that int are not iterable so we first convert the input number into a string type and then call the
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. random.choice()
function .... in ur case we can do it as :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import random
  2. random_choice=random.choice(str(x))

<Enter a four digit number:1234>
<choose operation (1)Addition (2)Subtraction (3)Multiplicati on (4)Division>
< 2>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\-\main.py", line 18, in <module>
su = random_choice - random_choice
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'str'

hi, i have follow ur code. but i get this error.

this is probably because
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. random_choice = random.choice(str(x))
is returning a "string" value since the input argument is of type string .... but to perform arithmetic operations, you will need to convert that back into int so the above line should look like :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. random_choice = int(random.choice(str(x)))
and your overall code should go like this :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. from random import randint
  2. import sys
  3. import random
  4.  
  5.  
  6. x = int(raw_input('Enter a four digit number:'))
  7. random_choice = int(random.choice(str(x)))
  8.  
  9. su=0
  10.  
  11. #write down your logic here
  12. y = raw_input("choose operation (1)Addition (2)Subtraction (3)Multiplication (4)Division  ")
  13.  
  14. if (y == "1"):
  15.     su = random_choice +  random_choice
  16.     print (su)
  17. elif (y == "2"):
  18.     su = random_choice -  random_choice
  19.     print (su)
  20. elif (y == "3"):
  21.     su = random_choice *  random_choice
  22.     print (su)
  23. elif (y == "4"):
  24.     su = random_choice /  random_choice
  25.     print (su)
  26. else:
  27.     print ("NO")
  28.  
  29. print("New number is: %d" %su )
  30.

Someone once posted the following macro on clc: #define randint(a,b) (a)+(((b)-(a)+1)*(float)rand()/RAND_MAX) Unfortunately it's flawed. If rand() returns RAND_MAX the result can be one larger than b. So can someone provide a *proper* macro (or function) that returns a random integer between (actually in) a range of values? For example randint(0, 999) could return:
