How to use random.randrange(): There are multiple variants of random.randrange() function let see
how to use it with the help of different examples.
The Syntax of random.randrange() function
random.randrange(start, stop[, step])
random.randrange() function takes three parameters. Out of three parameters, two is optional. i.e., start and
step is the optional parameter.
Note: randrange (start, stop, step) doesn’t consider the last item i.e. it is exclusive. For example, randrange
(10,20,1) will return any random number from 10 to 19 (exclusive). it will never select 20.
Start argument is the starting number in a range. i.e., lower limit. By default starts with 0 if not specified.
Stop argument is the last number in a range. Stop argument is the upper limit.
The step is a difference between each number in the sequence. The step is optional parameters. The default
value of step is 1 if not specified.
It will raise a ValueError if you used values other than an integer. i.e., You cannot use float value parameters

Randrange Functions:
Randrange:Generate a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step)
random.randrange(start, stop[, step])
import random
for i in range(3):
print random.randrange(0, 101, 5)
It will raise a ValueError if stop <= start or step =0.
random.randrange() Examples
Here in the following example, we are trying to print a random number in a given range. This example
demonstrates all the variants of random.randrange() function.
import random
print("Generate random integer number within a given range in Python ")
#random.randrange() with only one argument
print("Random number between 0 and 10 : ", random.randrange(10)) #0 to 9 any
#random.randrange() with two arguments
print("Random number between 20 and 40 : ", random.randrange(20, 40)) #20 to 39 any
#random.randrange() with three argument
print("Random number between 0 and 60 : ", random.randrange(0, 60, 6)) #0 to 59 any step value 6
Output:
Execute Online
Generate random integer number within a given range in Python
Random number between 0 and 10 : 7
Random number between 20 and 40 : 32
Random number between 0 and 60 : 48

Randint functions:
The Random module contains some very useful functions randint(start, stop, step)
If we wanted a random integer, we can use the randint function Randint accepts two parameters: a lowest and
a highest number. Generate integers between 1,5. The first value should be less than the second.
import random
print random.randint(0, 5)
This will output either 0,1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. #0 to 5 any
If you want a larger number, you can multiply it.
For example, a random number between 0 and 100:
import random
random.random() * 100

Choice functions: Generate a random value from the sequence sequence. random.choice( ['red', 'black',
'green'] ).The choice function can often be used for choosing a random element from a list.
import random
myList = [2, 109, False, 10, "Lorem", 482, "Ipsum"]
random.choice(myList)

Shuffle functions::The shuffle function, shuffles the elements in list in place, so they are in a random
order.
random.shuffle(list)
Example taken from this post on Stackoverflow
from random import shuffle
Page 4 of 10 EDUCATION FOR EVERYONE
DoyPyEdu PLAY WITH PYTHON
x = [[i] for i in range(10)]
shuffle(x)
Output:
# print x gives [[9], [2], [7], [0], [4], [5], [3], [1], [8], [6]]
# o:f course your results will vary
