Description: This notebook demonstrates how to get random numbers.

References:

• Python Random

Input

Import libraries

import random

Setup Variables

• number_start: integer to be used as first number in random.randrange and random.randint
• number_end: integer to be used as the last number in random.randrange and random.randint
• step: step to be used to get random number using random.randrange, default = 1

number_start = 0
number_end = 500
step = 100

Model

Get random decimal

random_decimal_number = random.random()

Get random integer

random_integer_number = random.randint(number_start, number_end)

Get random integer from range

random_number = random.randrange(number_start, number_end, step)

Output

Display result

print("The random decimal number generated is", random_decimal_number)
print("The random integrer number generated is", random_integer_number)
print("The random number generated is", random_number, "with a step of", step)
