Answer 1

If you just do import random, you have to use random.{method} to do a task. For example,

import random
print(random.randint(1,4))

If you do from random import *, you do not need to do, random.{method}, you can just do {method}. For example,

from random import *
print(randint(1,4))

Try it on your own! It's best to learn by self.
