To get a uniformly distributed random number in Python, you can use the random.uniform()
function, which generates a random float uniformly distributed between two given parameters. The syntax is as follows:
main.py36 chars4 lines
Where a
and b
are the two parameters specifying the range of the random number.
For example, the following code generates a random number between 0 and 1:
main.py49 chars5 lines
This will output a random float, such as 0.482252838493985
.
The algorithm behind these functions can vary depending on the implementation, but they typically use some form of pseudorandom number generator to produce a sequence of random numbers that are uniformly distributed within a given range.
