Python can generate such random numbers by using the random module. In the below examples we will first see how to generate a single random number and then extend it to generate a list of random numbers. Generating a Single Random Number. The random method in random module generates a float number between 0 and 1.

There is a need to generate random numbers when studying a model or behavior of a program for different range of values. Python can generate such random numbers by using the random module. In the below examples we will first see how to generate a single random number and then extend it to generate a list of random numbers.
The random() method in random module generates a float number between 0 and 1.
Running the above code gives us the following result −
The randint() method generates a integer between a given range of numbers.
Running the above code gives us the following result −
We can use the above randint() method along with a for loop to generate a list of numbers. We first create an empty list and then append the random numbers generated to the empty list one by one.
Running the above code gives us the following result −
We can also use the sample() method available in random module to directly generate a list of random numbers.Here we specify a range and give how many random numbers we need to generate.
Running the above code gives us the following result −
