How to Generate Random Numbers in Python: A Quick Guide

Python provides different functions to generate random numbers, defined in random Standard library.

The randint() function:
- Syntax: random.randint(x, y)
- It return a random integer between specified range [x, y], inclusive of both x and y; i.e x <= n <= y. Here n is the number returned by randint(x, y) function.
The random() function:
- Syntax: random.random()
- The random() function doesn’t accept any arguments.
- It return a random floating point value between [0.0, 1.0) range.

In this article we’ll see how to how to generate random number in Python programming language. Let us understand also with an example.

Example for generating integer number with `randint()` function

Passing the variable as an argument, and then comparing the result to the int class.

import random

print(random.randint(1, 100))
# 24

import random

print(random.random())
# 0.7021509552090657
