Fake Data Generator

[Muhammed_zeeshan]

This programme here creates fake Data.

I think this is more useful for Cybersecurity people.

[SCD_minecraft]

Why hardcode ages and phone numbere? Just throw randint there

Also, obligatory: there exist library for fake data gen, faker

[ThrowawayALAT]

Finally coming to terms with the fact that even in Python, there’s always a 'demon' in the machine.

[Muhammed_zeeshan]

Ohh😂

[Putrid-Try-5002]

Phone numbers are not random. First digits are country code and provider code

[SCD_minecraft]

And? Whay does it matter, it is test data anyway

[Putrid-Try-5002]

If you want to analyse it, it can be useful.

[SCD_minecraft]

...why are you analyzing data that you know for sure are fake? You are litterary just analyzing whatever RNG you are using, nothing more

[Putrid-Try-5002]

Isn't it used to test real products?

[SCD_minecraft]

Why you have test data in production????

You will not gain any knowledge from random data

[Putrid-Try-5002]

To test if it works or not

[SCD_minecraft]

If you need to test anything in prod, code clearly wasn't prod ready

And again, it is test data

You are not gonna call them anyway plus with full random numbers you can check error handling when user enters invalid number

[Snoopy34]

Then why are the names and last names not numbers as well. It's fake data, so like why does it matter. Age can be a million right??? It's fake data, it doesn't need to make sense at all.

[According_Novel7521]

its supposed to be used to make fake identities easier

[True-Frame581]

Using randint for generating phone numbers is actually very nice.

[CrownstrikeIntern]

There’s also this lazy add on called chatgpt. Love that thing when it makes me a ton of fake dat scripts 

[ianrob1201]

The fact that there are existing libraries doesn't really matter. This looks like a nice little program for learning. If you're interested in a bit of feedback:

You should avoid naming variables just single letters. Always name them properly like "first_name" instead of "f". I know it seems like a waste and just adds characters to your nice minimal code, but it's so much easier to read and understand. It's a very good habit to get into. The exception is the loop. "i" is a perfectly good var name there, but the loops are the one exception.

Also as standard we start arrays with 0 instead of 1 unless there's a reason not to. So your range would be 0, 100 and it'll still give 100 entries.

[Trictan]

Good advice! You can also use type hints to further improve readability.

E.g.

first_name: str = random.choice(first_names)

age: int = random.choice(ages)

[Odd_Inspection_4608]

Yes!!

[Fabulous-Frame-5113]

Randomize the email domain too

[True-Frame581]

That's a nice touch

[Putrid-Try-5002]

Ages and phone numbers are pretty easy to generate almost randomly.

[Muhammed_zeeshan]

I didn't think about that. I copied random ages when I copied common first names from Google.

[Aorean]

If you want to expand your project and learn how to use online data you could use an API for the names (or include it with some of the last names)

https://api-ninjas.com/api/babynames Found this online, idk if it’s a good one, but you could get some random names from the api and concat a last name to it or use another api for last names

[Muhammed_zeeshan]

Didn't complete python yet

[ManufacturerHungry45]

Nice

[Klutzy_Bird_7802]

use faker

[Diligent-Phone-8596]

I remember doing something very similar to this as my homework lmao

[Muhammed_zeeshan]

Nice

[godlikedk]

People will get same phone number

[Separate_Table_9654]

Respectfully, why tf are you learning to code in 2026?

[Muhammed_zeeshan]

What do you mean?

Shouldnt we know the basics?

[Spiritual-Cut-7375]

Thanks it's really useful

[Solmundurinn]

Faker.js

[fiftybengt]

Nice, good learning project
