Question

Out of random() and randint(), which function should we use to generate random numbers between 1 and 5? Justify.

Answer 1

The 'randint(a,b)' function will return a random integer within the given range as parameters.

'random()' function generates a random floating-point value in the range (0,1)
Therefore, to generate a random number between 1 and 5 we have to use the randint(1,5) function.

Note: 'randint()' is a part of 'random' module so, before using the same in the program, it has to be imported using the statement ‘from random import randint’.
