Shakespearean Compliment Generator
Overview
In this tutorial, you will make a 'Shakespearean' style compliment generator.
How it works
The program works by taking the familiar Shakespearean sonnet ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?’ but replaces the last two words with a random adjective followed by a random noun.

import random
coinFlip = ["Heads", "Tails"] print(random.choice(coinFlip)) |
Challenge 1
Modify your code to simulate the roll of a dice (or to pick a name at random - e.g., Harry Potter style sorting hat).
Next, enter and run the following code:

#Shakespearean Compliment Generator
import random adjective = #Create a list of adjectives to choose from noun = #Create a list of nouns to choose from print("Shall I compare thee to a ") #add code to select and print an adjective and noun at random to complete the sentence |
Extra Challenge
Having very long lists is not very efficient, plus it makes the code more difficult to debug.
Modify your solution so that it uses a file for each list of nouns and adjectives rather than a list.
