There are several functions in Python that provide the ability to generate random numbers. All of these functions are present in the `random` module which can be imported using `import random`.

The three primary functions used for random number generation are:

- `random()`
- `randint()`
- `uniform`




# random()
This function returns a random floating point value between `0` and `1`.



import random

# A number between 0 and 1
num = random.random()
print num

# A number between 0 and 100
num = random.random() * 100
print num

# A number between -50 and 50
num = random.random() * 100 - 50
print num

# randint()
The `randint` function takes in a range and produces an **integer** between that range.

import random

# A random integer between 1 and 40
num = random.randint(1, 40)
print num

# uniform()
Just as the `randint` function generates an integer within a given range, `uniform` does the same for floating point numbers.

import random

# A floating point number between 1 and 50
num = random.uniform(1, 50)
print num

What are the Python random functions?

Python's random module includes random(), randint(), and uniform() for generating random numbers.
