how to use random numbers and concatenating a string to the string random_number amount of times in python

Question

How to use random numbers and concatenating a string to another string random_number amount of times in python 3 ????

import random
fave_word = 'hello' + 'world'

def randomword(fave_word : str) -> str:
    '''Return something'''
    rand_num = random.randint(0,3)
    for i in range(rand_num):
        fave_word += 'Bob'
print(fave_word)

@M.S The little I can understand from the code is that you are generating a random number, then concatenating it with the string. But the question is still unclear! Kindly rephrase. Thanks. — Harshdeep Sokhey, Jan 29 '18 at 02:25
Your function is not returning anything and you have not called it. — srikavineehari, Jan 29 '18 at 02:50
One '?' is enough. Try adding explanations / clarifications rather than extra ?'s. — Julien, Jan 29 '18 at 02:53

You need to return the string you've created. Or you could use global, but I'd not recommend that approach:

>>> import random
>>> fave_word = 'hello' + 'world'
>>>
>>> def random_word(word : str) -> str:
...     '''Return something'''
...     rand_num = random.randint(0,3)
...     for i in range(rand_num):
...         word += 'Bob'
...     return word
...
>>> print(random_word(fave_word))
helloworldBobBobBob
>>> print(random_word(fave_word))
helloworld
>>> print(random_word(fave_word))
helloworldBobBob
