Python has a built-in module that can be used to generate random numbers.
random The module has a set of methods as follows:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| seed() | Initializes the random number generator. |
| getstate() | Returns the current internal state of the random number generator. |
| setstate() | Restores the internal state of the random number generator. |
| getrandbits() | Returns a digit representing a random position. |
| randrange() | Returns a random number between the given range. |
| randint() | Returns a random number between the given range. |
| choice() | Returns a random element from the given sequence. |
| choices() | Returns a list containing random selections from the given sequence. |
| shuffle() | Accepts a sequence and returns this sequence in a random order. |
| sample() | Returns a given sample from the sequence. |
| random() | Returns a floating-point number between 0 and 1. |
| uniform() | Returns a random floating-point number between the two given parameters. |
| triangular() | Returns a random floating-point number between the two given parameters, you can also set the mode parameter to specify the midpoint between the other two parameters. |
| betavariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the Beta distribution (used in statistics). |
| expovariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the exponential distribution (used in statistics), and between 0 and -1 if the parameter is negative. |
| gammavariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the Gamma distribution (used in statistics). |
| gauss() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the Gaussian distribution (used in probability theory). |
| lognormvariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the log-normal distribution (used in probability theory). |
| normalvariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the normal distribution (used in probability theory). |
| vonmisesvariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the von Mises distribution (used in directional statistics). |
| paretovariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the Pareto distribution (used in probability theory). |
| weibullvariate() | Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 based on the Weibull distribution (used in statistics). |
