How do I load random number from json file?

Hey C3. Thought this was a good idea but now not so sure. Essentially I'm trying to get a value from a json file and set it to a dictionary entry. I tried setting the value to a global variable but that didn't work either.

I want the value of apple seeds to be random number pulled from the range defined in the array as next will be orange seeds. Like I said, this may not be the way to go which I will respect if you can offer up what the right direction would be.

As always, thank you for your time!

Firstly, you can't load that JSON into a dictionary, you will have to parse it into a JSON object.

Construct expressions (like random or choose) can't be used inside the JSON string. If you need to pick a random value between three values (20, 50 or 1), you will have to add an array in JSON:

{
	"apples": {
		"number_of_seeds": [50, 20, 1]
	}
}
