Random Number Functions in Python
Random numbers are used for games, simulations, testing, security, and privacy applications. Python includes following functions that are commonly used.
| Sr.No | Function & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | choice(seq) A random item from a list, tuple, or string. |
| 2 | randrange ([start,] stop [,step]) A randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step) |
| 3 | random() A random float r, such that 0 is less than or equal to r and r is less than 1 |
| 4 | seed([x]) Sets the integer starting value used in generating random numbers. Call this function before calling any other random module function. Returns None. |
| 5 | shuffle(lst) Randomizes the items of a list in place. Returns None. |
| 6 | uniform(x, y) A random float r, such that x is less than or equal to r and r is less than y |
