There is random license plate generator. It generates license plates with 3 letters and 3 numbers but it excludes letters Q, W and X in all three letter positions, and 000 in number position. I tried to code this on Python but it showed an error message:
IndexError: list index out of range
The code is this:
import random as o
r=o.randint
t,j,k=[],0,""
b=["Q", "W", "X", "000"]
for i in range(100):
l,j=b[0],b[4]
while any(w in l for w in b):
l,j="",""
for i in range(3):
l+=chr(r(65,90))
j+=str(r(0,9))
t.append(l+'-'+j)
print ("\n".join(set(t)))

l,j=b[0],b[4]
Here you're getting index 4 but you're only using length of 4, so the last item has index 3, change it to:
l,j=b[0],b[3]
Try it online!
Output:
MLD-767
SMP-526
PIR-280
JBY-473
MRZ-876
VEN-206
FNI-643
ULH-631
ZCK-707
...
There are many ways to do this. Here's another one:
from random import choices, randint
LETTERS = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPRSTUVYZ'
def gen_number_plate():
letters = ''.join(choices(LETTERS, k=3))
numbers = randint(1, 999)
return f'{letters}-{numbers:03d}'
print(gen_number_plate())
