Random numbers

The random module provides functions that generate pseudorandom numbers. For using this module capabilities you should firts import it, with the syntxis:

from random import function

The most used random number generators are:

random.randint(a, b)

This returns a random integer N such that a <= N <= b. The other is:

random.random()

The function random returns a random float between 0.0 and 1.0 (including 0.0 but not 1.0).

Practice 1

Create two numbers: num1using randit and num2using random.Print them:

>>> from random import randint
>>> num1=randint(5,7)
>>> print num1
5
>>> from random import random
>>> num2=random()
>>> print num2
0.769876247837
