What is the random Module?

The random module in Python is your go-to tool for generating pseudo-random numbers. These numbers aren’t truly random but are good enough for most applications like simulations, games, or simple randomness in your program.

Let’s Get Started: Importing the random Module

To use the random module, you need to import it first:

import random

Now, let’s explore its features one by one.

1. Generating a Random Float:

The random.random() function generates a random float between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive). It’s perfect for scenarios where you need probabilities or normalized data.
