WORK SHEET - RANDOM OUTPUT (BOARD QUESTIONS)

Random Module
The random provides random-number generators. A random number means – a number
generated by chance, i.e., randomly.
To use random number generators in a Python program, you first need to import module
random.
e.g.,
import random

Some most common random number generator functions in random module are:
Sno Function Description
1. random( ) It returns a random floating point number
N in the range (0.0, 1.0), i.e., 0.0<= N
<1.0. Notice that the number generated
with random( ) will always be less than
1.0 (only lower range-limit is inclusive).
Also remember that it generates a floating
point number.

2. randint(a, b) It returns a random integer N in the range

(a, b), i.e., a <= N <= b (both range-
limits are inclusive). Remember, it
generates an integer.
3. random.uniform(a,b) It returns random floating point number
such that
a <= N <= b for a<=b
b <= N <= a for b<a
4. random.randrange(stop) It returns a randomly selected element
random.randrange(start, stop[, step]) from range(start, stop, step).

Sample codes along with their output using functions of random module.
To generate a random floating-point number between 0.0 to 1.0, simply use random( ):
>>> import random
>>> print(random.random( )) # The output generated is between range (0.0, 1.0)
0.022353193431
To generate a random integer in range 15 to 35 using randint( ), write :
>>> print(random.randint(15, 35))
16
#The output generated is integer between range 15 to 35
To generate a random number in the range 23 . . .47 with a step 3 or 0 . . .235, after importing
random module.
>>>random.randrange(23, 47, 3)
38
>>>random.randrange(235)
126
