Random Uniform Python

The Python random module provides functions for generating random numbers. If you want to generate random numbers from a uniform distribution, you can use the random.uniform() function. This function generates random floating-point numbers between two specified values, following a uniform distribution.

Here’s the basic syntax for using random.uniform():

import random

random_number = random.uniform(a, b)

• a is the minimum value (inclusive) that you want to generate.
• b is the maximum value (exclusive) that you want to generate.

The random.uniform() function generates a random number x such that a <= x < b.

Here’s an example of generating a random number between 0 and 1:

import random

random_number = random.uniform(0, 1)
print(random_number)

This code will produce a random floating-point number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).

If you want to generate a list of random numbers, you can use a list comprehension or a loop:

import random

# Generate a list of 5 random numbers between 0 and 1
random_numbers = [random.uniform(0, 1) for _ in range(5)]
print(random_numbers)

This code generates a list of 5 random numbers between 0 and 1.

Keep in mind that the random module generates pseudo-random numbers, which means that the sequence of random numbers can be reproduced if you set the same seed using random.seed() at the beginning of your script. This can be useful for debugging and testing purposes.
