Python In Practice - 15 Projects to Master Python - random Module

The video tutorial covers the Python random module, explaining how to import it and use its functions to generate random numbers. It discusses the use of functions like random, randint, and uniform for generating numbers, and randrange for generating numbers with specific steps. The concept of pseudo-randomness is introduced, along with the seed function to control randomness. The tutorial also demonstrates shuffling lists and selecting random elements using choice and sample functions.

What is the range of numbers generated by the basic random function in Python's random module?

• 0 to 100

• 0 to 10

• 0 to 1

• 1 to 10

Which function would you use to generate a random integer between two specified values?

• uniform()

• choice()

• random()

• randint()

How does the uniform function differ from the randint function?

• It generates numbers without a range.

• It generates numbers in a fixed range.

• It generates integers.

• It generates floating-point numbers.

What additional parameter does the randrange function accept compared to randint?

• A step value

• A seed value

• A float value

• A boolean value

What is the purpose of using a seed in random number generation?

• To generate larger numbers

• To decrease execution time

• To ensure reproducibility

• To increase randomness

What is the result of using the seed function with the same seed value multiple times?

• Different random numbers each time

• The same sequence of random numbers

• No random numbers generated

• An error is thrown

What does the shuffle function do to a list?

• Sorts it in descending order

• Sorts it in ascending order

• Reverses the order

• Randomly rearranges the elements

Which function would you use to select a random element from a list?

• choice()

• sample()

• shuffle()

• randint()

How can you select multiple random elements from a list?

• Using randint()

• Using choice() multiple times

• Using shuffle()

• Using sample()

What is the main difference between choice() and sample() functions?

• choice() selects one element, sample() selects multiple

• choice() sorts the list, sample() shuffles it

• choice() works only with numbers, sample() works with strings

• choice() requires a seed, sample() does not
