Python Number randrange() Function
Description:
This function returns a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step)
Syntax:
randrange ([start,] stop [,step])
|
Note: This function is not accessible directly so we need to import random module and then we need to call this function using random static object.
Parameters:
Here is the detail of parameters:
start: Start point of the range. This would be included in the range.
stop: Stop point of the range. This would be excluded from the range.
step: Steps to be added in a number to decide a random number.
Return Value:
A random item from the given range
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python
import random
# Select an even number in 100 <= number < 1000
print "randrange(100, 1000, 2) : ", random.randrange(100, 1000, 2)
# Select another number in 100 <= number < 1000
print "randrange(100, 1000, 3) : ", random.randrange(100, 1000, 3)
|
This will produce following result:
randrange(100, 1000, 2) : 976
randrange(100, 1000, 3) : 520
