How to generate random numbers with python

In this article we are briefly going to show how to generate random numbers with python using the standard library.

For more information you can check this page https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random, and the ending point will be something like the code below

from random import seed
from random import random

seed(1)

counter = 0
while counter < 10:
    print(random())
    counter += 1

and this is the output

0.13436424411240122
0.8474337369372327
0.763774618976614
0.2550690257394217
0.49543508709194095
0.4494910647887381
0.651592972722763
0.7887233511355132
0.0938595867742349

Generate Random Integers

For generating random integers we need to import the randint function that takes 2 arguments (min, max) and will generate a random number between min and max (included)

from random import seed, randint
seed(1)
print(randint(0,10))

Generate Random Floats

For generating random float numbers we can just use random() that will generate a random number between 0 and 1

from random import seed, random

seed(3)
print(random())

Hope this will help
