How do we generate Random number in Python Random is a very important method in

math and statistics, how could we generate random number in Python?

We have a build-in model called Random

If we want to use it, we need to “import” the model first

>>> import random

Random Function Random model has many different

functions to generate random numbers

I introduce random.choice(<ordered object>) here

In this function, it will randomly choice a object from the given ordered object

Random Function Example

random.choice([1,2,3,4,5]) (ordered object)

random.choice(‘asdfghjkl;’) random.choice(range(1000))
