RANDOM FUNCTIONS NOTES

 Random numbers—a number generated by chance. i.e., randomly


 When we require such numbers which are not known earlier, then in this situation we need
random numbers
 Need to import random module
 example: throwing dice, captcha codes, deck of cards

S.NO FUNCTION DESCRIPTION RANGE VALUES EXAMPLE


NAME
1. random () it returns a random 0.0 <= N < 1.0 >>>import random
floating point >>>print(random.random())
number 0.022353193431
*number will
always less than between 15 to 35
1.0( only the lower >>>print (random.random()*(35-
range limit 15)+15)
inclusive) 28.3071872734
2. uniform() it returns a random a <= N <= b >>>print(random.uniform(11,55))
floating point for a <= b 41.34518981317353
number N b <= N <= a for
b<a
3. randint() it returns a random a <= N <= b >>>print(random.randint(15, 35)
integer N in range 16
(a,b)
both range-limits
are inclusive
4. randrange() it returns a upper limit >>>print(random.randrange(23,47,3)
randomly selected exclusive 38
element from randrange(20)
range (start,stop, will return >>>print(random.randrange(235))
step) integers 126
it returns an between 0 to
integer between 19
upper and lower
limits
5. choice() it returns a value >>>l=[10,30,50]
from given list >>>print(random.choice(l))
[30]
6. shuffle() it will change the >>>l=[10,30,50]
order of numbers >>>print(random.shuffle(l))
in given list [30,50,10]
