Python Random - random() Function Last Updated : 01 Jul, 2025 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report The random() function in Python is used to generate a random floating-point number between 0 and 1. It's part of the random module and helps add randomness to your programs, like in games or simulations.To generate a random number, we need to import the "random module" in our program using the command:from random import randomSyntaxrandom()Parameters: function does not take any parameters.Example 1: Generating a random number Python from random import random print(random()) Output0.708371072924057 Explanation: generate different number every time you run this program.Example 2: Creating List of random numbers Python from random import random li = [] for i in range(4): li.append(random()) print(li) Output[0.958704121933274, 0.6906654116157793, 0.7080091136195106, 0.6164759794476892] Explanation: creates and prints a list of 4 random float numbers using random().Random seed() MethodThe seed() method in random module is used to set the starting point for generating random numbers. Python from random import random, seed seed(10) print(random()) Output0.5714025946899135 Explanation: sets a fixed seed for the random generator and prints the same random float every time it runs.Related Articles:random modulepython listsrandom.seed() Comment More infoAdvertise with us S shubhamsingh10 Follow Improve Article Tags : Python Python-random Practice Tags : python Explore Python FundamentalsPython Introduction 3 min read Input and Output in Python 4 min read Python Variables 5 min read Python Operators 5 min read Python Keywords 2 min read Python Data Types 8 min read Conditional Statements in Python 3 min read Loops in Python - For, While and Nested Loops 7 min read Python Functions 5 min read Recursion in Python 6 min read Python Lambda Functions 5 min read Python Data StructuresPython String 5 min read Python Lists 5 min read Python Tuples 4 min read Dictionaries in Python 3 min read Python Sets 6 min read Python Arrays 7 min read List Comprehension in Python 4 min read Advanced PythonPython OOP Concepts 10 min read Python Exception Handling 6 min read File Handling in Python 4 min read Python Database Tutorial 4 min read Python MongoDB Tutorial 2 min read Python MySQL 9 min read Python Packages 12 min read Python Modules 7 min read Python DSA Libraries 15 min read List of Python GUI Library and Packages 11 min read Data Science with PythonNumPy Tutorial - Python Library 3 min read Pandas Tutorial 6 min read Matplotlib Tutorial 5 min read Python Seaborn Tutorial 15+ min read StatsModel Library- Tutorial 4 min read Learning Model Building in Scikit-learn 8 min read TensorFlow Tutorial 2 min read PyTorch Tutorial 7 min read Web Development with PythonFlask Tutorial 8 min read Django Tutorial | Learn Django Framework 7 min read Django ORM - Inserting, Updating & Deleting Data 4 min read Templating With Jinja2 in Flask 6 min read Django Templates 7 min read Python | Build a REST API using Flask 3 min read How to Create a basic API using Django Rest Framework ? 4 min read Python PracticePython Quiz 3 min read Python Coding Practice 1 min read Python Interview Questions and Answers 15+ min read Like
