How to select random two digits from anywhere in a number with Python

Answer 1

import random
import time

def get_random_two_digits(number: int) -> str:
    num_str = str(number)

    if len(num_str) < 2:
        return "Error: number must have at least 2 digits"

    # Generate two distinct random indices
    i = random.randrange(len(num_str))
    j = i
    while j == i:
        j = random.randrange(len(num_str))

    # Form the two-digit string
    return num_str[i] + num_str[j]

def main():
    random.seed(time.time())

    num = 1234567
    random_two = get_random_two_digits(num)

    print("Random two digits:", random_two)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
