Challenge #2: Random Name Picker


The primary teacher sometimes asks questions to the whole class. They would like to have a program that helps them randomly pick a name from their class list. They would like to make sure that once a name has been picked up once, they cannot be picked up a second time.

Using the class.txt file, write a Python program to meet the teacher’s requirements.
