Python Random Module

The random module in Python provides functions that allow you to generate random numbers, select random elements from a list, and perform other randomization tasks. It's widely used in applications like simulations, games, and testing.

Commonly Used Functions

random(): Returns a random float number between 0.0 and 1.0.
randint(a, b): Returns a random integer between a and b (both inclusive).
choice(seq): Returns a random element from a non-empty sequence (like a list or tuple).
shuffle(seq): Shuffles the elements in a list in place.
sample(population, k): Returns a list of k unique elements chosen from the population.

Example Usage

Python

import random

print(random.random())  # Random float between 0.0 and 1.0
print(random.randint(1, 10))  # Random integer between 1 and 10
print(random.choice(["apple", "banana", "cherry"]))  # Random element from list
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
random.shuffle(numbers)  # Shuffle list in place
print(numbers)
