Python Random random() Method

The random.random() function generates random floating numbers in the range of 0.1, and 1.0. It takes no parameters and returns values uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. There are various functions associated with the random module are:

1. Python random()
2. Python randrange()
3. Python randint()
4. Python seed()
5. Python choice(), and many more. We are only demonstrating the use of the random() function in this article.

There are certain situations that involve games or simulations which work on a non-deterministic approach. In these types of situations, random numbers are extensively used in the following applications:

• Creating pseudo-random numbers on Lottery scratch cards
• reCAPTCHA on login forms uses a random number generator to define different numbers and images
• Picking a number, flipping a coin, and throwing of a dice related games required random numbers
• Shuffling deck of playing cards

In Python, random numbers are not generated implicitly; therefore, it provides a random module in order to generate random numbers explicitly. A random module in Python is used to create random numbers.  To generate a random number, we need to import a random module in our program using the command:

import random
