Python commonly USES random number and random string method instances

random integer:

>>> import random

>>> random.randint(0,99)

21

randomly selects even Numbers between 0 and 100:

>>> import random

>>> random.randrange(0, 101, 2)

42

random floating point number:

>>> import random

>>> random.random() 

0.85415370477785668

>>> random.uniform(1, 10)

5.4221167969800881

random characters:

>>> import random

>>> random.choice('abcdefg&#%^*f')

'd'

Select a specific number of characters from multiple characters:

>>> import random

random.sample('abcdefghij',3) 

['a', 'd', 'b']

Select a specific number of characters from to form a new string:

>>> import random

>>> import string

>>> string.join(random.sample(['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j'], 3)).r

eplace(" ","")

'fih'

randomly selects strings:

>>> import random

>>> random.choice ( ['apple', 'pear', 'peach', 'orange', 'lemon'] )

'lemon'

shuffling:

>>> import random

>>> items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

>>> random.shuffle(items)

>>> items
