Random number Generation in Python

               It can be implemented by many methods based on user requirements.Based on the fucntions,the list is given below.

1. ‘randint()’
2. ‘random()’ or ‘uniform()’
3. ‘choice()’
4. ‘sample()’
5. ‘shuffle()’
6. ‘seed()’
7. ‘secrets.randbelow()’
8. ‘rand()’
9. Various types of Distrbutions

1. ‘randint()’:

              This function is a built-in function of random package. It reads the number limit to generate random values.

Code:

# This code imports random package

import random

print("The random value is:")

#prints the random integer value in the range 1 to 100.

print(random.randint(1, 100))  

Output:

The random value is:

11

2.‘random()’ or ‘uniform()’:

              This generates random float number. ‘random()’ gives a single float number. ‘uniform()’ gives you the float number within the range.

Code:

import random

print("The random value generated by random():")

print(random.random())

print("The random number generated in the number limit 1.1 to 99.9")

print(random.uniform(1.1, 99.9))

Output:

The random value generated by random():

0.9317870646028138

The random number generated in the number limit 1.1 to 99.9

65.10704409480574

3. ‘choice()’

              This code generates the random choice from the list given.

Code:

import random

#Create a list of elements

vehicle_list = ['car', 'bus', 'lorry','auto','van','bike']

print("A random choice from the vehicle list generated by system:")

#print the random choice

print(random.choice(vehicle_list))

Output:

A random choice from the vehicle list generated by system:

bus

4.’sample()’:

              This code uses sample() function. It sets the range as 75. The number of elements to print is 6.

Code:

import random

print("The random numbers generated with a range:")

print(random.sample(range(1, 75), 6))  

Output:

The random numbers generated with a range:

[71, 53, 38, 31, 29, 36]

5.’shuffle()”:

              This function shuffles the card values randomly.

Code:

import random

p_cards = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

print("The original cards are:")

print(p_cards)

random.shuffle(p_cards)

print("The shuffled cards are:")

print(p_cards)

Output:

The original cards are:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

The shuffled cards are:

[5, 2, 10, 6, 4, 7, 8, 1, 9, 3]

These are the basic random number, character generation python codes. Hope, this coding is useful to you. Next part covers advanced methods. Keep Coding!!!!
