How do we generate random numbers in python?

Question

How do we generate random numbers in python?

Answer 1

here's a simple example of generating random numbers between 0 and 100 as long as a condition is satisfied:

import random
x = 0
while x < 10:
print(random.randint(0,100))
x+=1

Answer 2

you can use random function from random module

Here is a link for random documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/random.html

import random

>>> random.random() # Random float x, 0.0 <= x < 1.0
0.37444887175646646

>>> random.uniform(1, 10) # Random float x, 1.0 <= x < 10.0
1.1800146073117523

>>> random.randrange(10) # Integer from 0 to 9
7

>>> random.randrange(0, 101, 2) # Even integer from 0 to 100
26

>>> random.choice('abcdefghij') # Single random element
'c'

>>> items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
>>> random.shuffle(items)
>>> items
[7, 3, 2, 5, 6, 4, 1]

>>> random.sample([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3) # Three samples without replacement
[4, 1, 5]

Answer 3

If you wanted to simulate a dice roll:

import random
x = random.randint(1, 6)
