The .uniform()
method takes two numbers as arguments and returns a pseudo-random floating-point number between them. The result is inclusive of the first value, and possibly inclusive of the second value, depending on rounding.
Syntax
random.uniform(value1, value2)
Where value1
and value2
are numbers bounding the choice of a random floating-point number.
Example
In the example below, .uniform()
is used to return a random floating-point number between 10 and 20:
import randomprint(random.uniform(10,20))
Example output:
13.188312896316244
Codebyte Example
The following example prints random floating-point numbers between 10 and 15, 100 and 150, -10 and 10, and 0.75 and 0.90.
