In this article, we will show you how to generate random integers between 0 and 9 in Python. Below are the various methods to accomplish this task: Using randint() method Using randrange() method Using secrets module To generate random integers within certain ranges, Python supports a variety of functions. We will discuss Python's built-in random module for generating random numbers. The two primary functions provided by the random module to produce random integers are randint() and randrange(). In order to produce random values, a second module called secrets is also used. Using randint() method The random.randint() method is ... Read More

The seed() method of random module initializes the random number generator.random.seed(a,b)If a is omitted or None, the current system time is used. If randomness sources are provided by the operating system, they are used instead of the system timeIf a is an int, it is used directly.With version 2 (the default), a str, bytes, or bytearray object gets converted to an int and all of its bits are used.With version 1 (provided for reproducing random sequences from older versions of Python), the algorithm for str and bytes generates a narrower range of seeds.

Everything in Python is an object, and that includes the numbers. There are no "primitive" types, only built-in types.Numbers, however, are immutable. When you perform an operation with a number, you are creating a new number object.

Floor and modulus operators (// and % respectively) are not allowed to be used on complex number in Python 3.x. However, these operations are defined for complex numbers in Python 2.7.xPython 3>>> x=9+2j >>> y=2+1j >>> x%y Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in x%y TypeError: can't mod complex numbers.Python 2.7>>> x=9+2j >>> y=2+1j >>> x%y (1-2j)Modulus of complex number operands returns their floor division multiplied by denominator>>> x-(x//y)*y (1-2j)

The random module in Numpy package contains many functions for generation of random numbersnumpy.random.rand() − Create an array of the given shape and populate it with random samples>>> import numpy as np >>> np.random.rand(3,2) array([[0.10339983, 0.54395499], [0.31719352, 0.51220189], [0.98935914, 0.8240609 ]])numpy.random.randn() − Return a sample (or samples) from the “standard normal” distribution.>>> np.random.randn() -0.6808986872330651numpy.random.randint() − Return random integers from low (inclusive) to high (exclusive).>>> np.random.randint(5, size=(2, 4)) array([[2, 4, 0, 4], [3, 4, 1, 2]])numpy.random.random() − Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0).>>> np.random.random_sample() 0.054638060174776126

Python has an in-built function isdigit() which returns true if all characters in a string are digit (between 0-9)>>> string='9764135408' >>> string.isdigit() True >>> string='091-9764135408' >>> string.isdigit() FalseYou can also use regex expression to check if string contains digits only.>>> import re >>> bool(re.match('^[0-9]+$','9764135408')) True >>> bool(re.match('^[0-9]+$','091-9764135408')) False
