How can you get a random number in python? [2p]

Your answer:

You should import the random module. The easiest way is using the randint(a, b) function. It gives back random integer numbers in range between 'a' and 'b'. Example: import random

print(random.randint(0, 10) 5

Or you can use the randrange(a, b, c) function. It gives back a number between 'a' and 'b'. The 'c' argument is the step. The function sees only the 'c'nth element in the 'a''b' range. Example:

print (random.randrange(5)) # a random element in range 0-5. 1 print (random.randrange(1,5)) # a random element in range 1-5. 2 print (random.randrange(1,10, 1)) # a random odd element in range 1-10. 7
