Random Module
Random in Python :
When ever there is a situation where we need to generate random numbers in coding
of python, then python allow us to generate random numbers by using
module RANDOM in Python.
Following are the situations where we need to generate random numbers in Python
1. To generate the scratch card of online Lottery.
2. To generate captcha code.
3. To generate OTP (One Time Password)
4. Computer games like LUDO (where need to generate random number between
1 to 6)

Functions in random Module


There are many functions in random module in python. Let we start

randrange( ) :
This function generates a random number between the lower and upper limit
(including lower limit and excluding upper limit). for example the following code will
generate a random number less than 20 :
import random
a=random.randrange(20)
print(a)
The above code will generate any number from 0 to 19.

NOTE :
1. By default the lower limit of randrange function is 0.
2. randrange( ) always generate a number one less than the higher limit.

Q1. Write the code to generate a number less than 10.


Ans.
import random
a=random.randrange(10)
print(a)

Q2. Write the code to generate a random number between 7 and 17 (both inclusive)
Ans.
import random
a=random.randrange(7, 18)
print(a)

Q3. Write the code which always generate 0 number by using randrange( ).
Ans.
import random
a=random.randrange(1)
print(a)

Q4. Write the code to select random names from the given list of names.
import random
name=["Amit","Sumit","Naina","Suman","Parth"]
rd=random.randrange(______________)
print(name[rd])

What minimum number should we fill in the above blank so that it will print any
name from the given list. (Answer is 5)

random():
This function generates a random floating point number from 0 to 1(including 0 and
excluding 1) like 0.15895645215423562.

Syntax is :
random.random()

random( ) function takes no argument.


NOTE : It always generate floating point number between 0 and 1(including 0 and
excluding 1)

Q5. Write code to generate any numbers between 10 and 15(including both)
import random
print(int(random.random( )*6+10))

Q6. Write the code to generate random three digit number using random in python.
import random
print(int(random.random( )*900+100))

Q7. Write the code to generate random two digit number using random in python.
import random
print(int(random.random( )*90+10))
randint() :
This function generates a random number between the lower and upper
limit (including both the limits).
Syntax of randint() is
a = random.randint(L,U) # where L is the lower limit and U is the upper limit.
The value of a will be in the range ( L<=a<=U)

Q8. Write a program to generate a random number between 20 and 30(including both)
import random

l=int(input("Enter the lowest limit"))
while(i):
a=random.randrange(l+1,h) #we are not including upper limit and lower limit
if(a%2==0):
L.append(a)
if(len(L)==5):
break
print(L)
