find random numbers that are = to the first 2 number of a list.

[Frankduc]

Hello,

I have a list. start_list = [1,2] and a random_list[]

My goal is to find 4 random numbers where the 2 first numbers are the same as my start_list.

I came up with that code:

import random

random_list = []
start_list = [1,2]

for i in range(4):
    num1 = random.randint(1,2)
    random_list.append(num1)

    if num1 == start_list: 
        print ("RL", num1) 
    else: 
        print ("SL", start_list) 

print(random_list)

Output:
SL [1, 2]
SL [1, 2]
SL [1, 2]
SL [1, 2]
[1, 2, 2, 1]

Why is it not returning RL [1.2] ? After all 1,2 are in the random_list and begins by 1 and 2?

The thing is i have to click on run to get a new series of random numbers. Is there a way i can make the process automatic so it looks automatically for my 4 random numbers where the number 1 and 2 are in order of the list, just like in the output.

Probably using sort() but i cant seem to find the exact combination of words on google to get the answer i want and english is not my native language.

Thank you
