PickNoOfPplayers

"""
Work out the number of players needed in one team,
and use the sample function to randomly pick that number of players
from the list.
Then add the rest of the players to the second team.
You’ll need to import the sample function from the random library.
The following code would set my_sample to be a list containing
three random elements from the list my_list:

from random import sample

my_sample = sample(my_list,3)
# Randomly select 3 items from my_list and creates my_sample

"""
from random import sample

teamA = [] # empty list for team A
teamB = [] # do for team B

players = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R']

#  to preserve my original players list appending each element to teamB
for i in range(0, len(players)):
    teamB.append(players[i])

def make_teams(noz):
    tempA = (sample(players,noz))
    for i in range(0,len(tempA)):
        teamA.append(tempA[i])
        #print(f"tempA {tempA}") for debugging
        #print(f"teamA {teamA}") for debugging
        #print(f"teamB {teamB}") for debugging
        #print(f"players {players}") for debugging
        teamB.remove(tempA[i])
        #print(f"teamB {teamB}") for debugging

make_teams(2)

print(f"teamA final {teamA} of length {len(teamA)}")
print(f"teamB final {teamB} of length {len(teamB)}")
print(f"players final {players} of length {len(players)}")
