The next step

Before, you have already wrote Python code that determines the next step based on the previous step. Now it's time to put this code inside a for loop so that we can simulate a random walk.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Make a list random_walk that contains the first step, which is the integer 0.
  • Finish the for loop:
    • The loop should run 100 times.
    • On each iteration, set step equal to the last element in the random_walk list. You can use the index -1 for this.
    • Next, let the if-elif-else construct update step for you.
    • The code that appends step to random_walk is already coded.
  • Print out random_walk.
