Answer 1

import random

# List of books

books = ["To Kill a Mockingbird", "The Great Gatsby", "Pride and Prejudice", "1984", "Animal Farm", "Brave New World", "The Catcher in the Rye", "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "The Hobbit", "The Hunger Games", "The Da Vinci Code", "Angels and Demons", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Gone Girl", "The Fault in Our Stars"]

# Shuffle the list of books randomly

random.shuffle(books)

# Assign one book to each of seven friends without repeating any book

for i in range(7):

print("Friend", i+1, "will read:", books[i])

This code will randomly shuffle the list of books and then assign one book to each of seven friends without repeating any book. The output will display the name of each friend followed by the book assigned to them.

Answer 2

hello!..

Here's the code: ↓

```python

import random

# List of books you like most

favorite_books = [

"The Great Gatsby",

"To Kill a Mockingbird",

"1984",

"Pride and Prejudice",

"The Catcher in the Rye",

"The Lord of the Rings",

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone",

"The Hobbit",

"The Hunger Games",

"The Da Vinci Code",

]

# Create a copy of the list to shuffle

available_books = favorite_books.copy()

# Initialize a dictionary to store book assignments

book_assignments = {}

# Create a list of your 7 friends

friends = ["Friend1", "Friend2", "Friend3", "Friend4", "Friend5", "Friend6", "Friend7"]

# Assign books to friends randomly without duplicates

for friend in friends:

if available_books:

assigned_book = random.choice(available_books)

book_assignments[friend] = assigned_book

available_books.remove(assigned_book)

else:

break # No more books available

# Print the book assignments

for friend, book in book_assignments.items():

print(f"{friend} will read: {book}")

```

↪ This code will randomly assign one book from your list of favorite books to each of your 7 friends, ensuring that no two friends receive the same book.
