Hi folks, random functions are very useful in more cases that you think. Today I will give you some tips about randomizing python scripts with the random module. This simple module has some interesting functions to see deeper:
- random (): Generate a float number in range 0.0 <= x < 1.0.
- uniform (a, b): Generate a float number in range a<= x < b.
- randint (a, b): Generate an integer number in range a <= x <= b.
- randrange (a, b, step): Select an integer number in a given range. This range is equal to built-in range (a, b, step).
And now, functions over sequences:
- choice (sequence): Return an element of the sequence.
- shuffle (sequence): Shuffle element of sequence in-place (the same sequence reference).
- sample (sequence, n): Return a new sequence of n length with elements from sequence.
- populate (sequence, n): The same as sample, but elements of new sequence don’t have repetitions.

This is all for now. Stay tuned for more interesting code snippets. Comments welcomed.
