Python Tutorial: Generate Random Numbers and Data Using the random Module
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to generate random numbers and choose random data from lists using the random module. I personally use the random module pretty often in my tutorials to generate random data. This can also be used be games, simulations, and plenty of other useful tasks. Let's get started.

I just learned more in 10 minutes than I have in 10 days trying to read about this on my own. Thanks! =)
Good to hear! Glad you found it helpful
BTW, is that Cooper's Rock in your profile picture? I used to live in Morgantown, WV and it looks very familiar

maybe you have dyslexia..people with dyslexia learn easily throw videos
@@coreyms haha yes! It sure is =)
It's been 5 years after you've made this tutorial and your work has still managed to help someone learn. Thank you Corey
Amazing how Corey can teach the same concepts, but his tutorials are head and shoulders above all others!
every time I want to learn the important parts of a module without having to read its documentation, I come straight to your page. You do an incredible job Corey.. Thank you!
Told me exactly what I needed to know, saved me from any more searching through forums. Thank you!
man, I am a starter programmer, of course, python, you teach and explain so well!!! my teacher is really bad and you help a lot !!!my school doesn't do a very good job of teaching programming so u are awesome
i agree
import random as rd
1:00 random float number between excl. (0 and 1) --> rd.random()
1:55 random float number berween excl.(1 and 10) --> rd.uniform(1, 10)
2:30 random int number between incl. [1 and 10] --> rd.randint(1, 10)
3:30 random list element between incl. [1 and 10] --> rd.choice(list)
4:20 random list elements-list between incl. [1 and 10] --> rd.choices(list, k=100)
5:40 rd.choices(list, weights=[8.0987,0,10,2,7,5.7,10,20,25,5.2], k=100)
Honestly, stumbling into your tutorials has been a great blessing to me. Your wealth of knowledge shows a versatility of experiences that is far advanced. I have learnt alot from savouring your tutorials and am really grateful for all you do.
Thanks a lot sir.
Kind regards from Nigeria
You have the best tutorials ever, I mean you are making everything much easier and explaining concepts deeply and correctly, most of the tutorials out there are not doing that, thanks!!
This is pretty cool! I was just searching for how to use random in Python. And probably this is THE BEST tutorial that exactly expressed what I want. Thanks a lot, Corey for this wonderful video!
I'm here in 2022 and this was so helpful. The explanation is clear and precise, no fluff. Thank you.
Corey you are so good at teaching this stuff. I love the way you deal with each particular topic, it makes it much easier to understand. So many videos seem to jump from one topic to another. I know this stuff isn’t easy to teach but you make easier. Thanks man.
see mine too. A full Python crash course tutorials step by step, sequentially, with all the source files downloadble too.
You are my favorite python tutor and I always recommend to people your channel. Because you explain the very easiest and efficient way than spending too much time reading python documentation. Thank you @corey.
I've been struggling my way through some classes at my community college and your videos have saved my bacon on more than one occasion. Thank you for the clear and concise content. Keep it up!
Learnt more about Python more from ur videos than entire college year
thank you for all the new concepts on random math functions, didn't know there was this much support for mathematical concepts
There are lot people are excellent at programming languages, and thanks to them for willingness to teach others. However, there are only an handful that could explain and teach others. You are small number of the later category. Thank you.
Holy cow! Thank you, Mr. Schafer. I was able to use this to understand how to generate a useful (and DRY!) function to handle skill rolls in my TBS Game!
Holy Beautiful
The random.choices part connected with the weights/probabilities is super helpful :) In another tutorial this command was not mentioned. I love it :)
Thank you so much Corey for making time out to make all these available. You make learning python very smooth. I will definitely follow through all of these contents and practice and practice and practice. Thanks once again
Hey Corey,
Thank you so much for this! I was working on a "random" number generator for a few days and was pulling aspects from multiple sources. I happened to stumble onto your video and realized that I needed to make the code into smaller pieces rather than larger ones. I was trying to have the random function that I was using do more things than it was designed to and thus kept getting an error of some sort. When I first wrote it, I couldn't get the program to loop and then if I had to roll higher than the numbers present it ran into an error due to population size so I had to find how replacement worked. Now it works. However, it has "none" twice when the program ends but that is minor. I believe it is because of my while loop and having to place return at the end in order for the loop to exit when I have do not have anymore rolls to do.
Thank you again!
This was Amazing!
After seeing this video I was very excited to use this random function in my computer.
Thanks for this useful information.
After so many searches, I found yours.. Thank you so much! Really simple explanation 👌👌
I can't say enough Thanks in every video you created on python and more!

Very clear and straightforward, +1
this was simply amazing. thank you!!
Nice tutorial 👍🤗 u are my one of the most favorite teachers whom I came across :)
Anyways, I think we can leave range without list function also right, cuz it already returns a list of the given range..🤔
Love from India :)
Great Video! You helped me a lot. Thanks👍
Very good! Thanks for that
Awesome 😎 just straight forward to the point 👍👍💯 Now, I am loyal subscriber to your channel✅

No words to say thankuu... Awesome content🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
Thank you very much, sir! You helped me a lot! You gave me a few steps to my dream to be a programmer :0
I've read about random functions in Python all the time but from your video the commands got burned in my brain. I learned ay more from this.
Thank you!! I'm teaching myself to code and I've been searching everywhere for the 'random.choice' function!! 😂 I can now receive a value from a list at random!
This was ribeye quality, thanks!
great video, happy that I' ve found your channel
Thank you very much for this video :) It was very helpful!
Thanks, very useful information. Really like the weight parameter and sample method, didn't knew it before :)
Example🔥...loved this idea🔥
you can get integers in the uniform method by placing and "int(random.uniform(1, 10))"
I really needed this. Thank you so much
Thanks a lot. This help me fixed the bug in my game.
I have learned a lot from your video. you are amazing. you are simly the best.and you have really nice voice. Its so cool!!!!

another awesome vid you should write a book how to program the
Corey Schafer way best seller in the tech industry fo sure
Nice explanation 👍👍
I got to say: Thank you a lot! You got one more subscriber too.
Do you know what a subscript is
@@xfire3778Oh, I am not a native speaker LOL I think it should be subscriber, right?
Elber Almeida yeah 👍
Excellent work keep on work like this broo❤😊
to get better list you can do:
list {
'random1',
"ramdon2,"
}
still love this video, so ill probably sub
thank u sir ,for such a amazing video
thank you so much, i really need this to make my application, Hacking Simulation
Thanks bro only your trick is helpful
Insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😎😎😎😎
dang it! Some Useful content finally. Thanks
It was a great video. Thank you very much!!
Hi Corey, amazing vid. I'm completely new to python and I'm not a coder but was able to follow along and even try things on my own. Thank you.
I need your help. I'm trying to create a number generator in a sort of unconventional way. So after watching this video I came up with 2 approaches and I'm getting sort of the results that I want, but it's incomplete and I don't know where to go next.
Approach 1
col1 = [1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10,13,16]
col2 = [2,4,5,6,7,9,11,13,14,15,17,18,19,20,21,22]
col3 = [7,8,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,23,24,25,27,29,30]
col4 = [9,12,17,18,19,20,22,23,24,25,26,28,30,31,33]
col5 = [20,21,24,25,26,28,30,32,33,34,35]
b1 = [1,3,5,7,8]
b2 = [2,4,6,7,9,10,11,12]
drum1 = random.sample(col1 + col2 + col3 + col4 + col5, k=5)
drum2 = random.sample(b1 + b2, k=2)
draw1 = random.sample(drum1, k=5)
draw2 = random.sample(drum2, k=2)
main_draw = draw1 + draw2
main_draw
[30, 13, 28, 5, 30, 2, 4]
Approach 2
for num in range(4):
first = random.choice(col1)
second = random.choice(col2)
third = random.choice(col3)
forth = random.choice(col4)
fifth = random.choice(col5)
bonus1 = random.choice(b1)
bonus2 = random.choice(b2)
draw = f'{first} {second} {third} {forth} {fifth} {bonus1} {bonus2}'
print(draw)
7 6 7 23 21 5 2
13 11 14 20 30 8 9
4 6 23 17 20 5 11
5 22 23 23 20 7 11
In one I used the .choice and the other .sample.
1. My first goal is to get unique random numbers from the range of numbers I manually enter and not from say, random(1,30). I would like to give it the numbers I want it to rand between. But I want each number to be unique and as you can see from the results, that's not the case.
2. My second goal is to develop this further so that from the numbers I provide in each column as you noticed, some of the numbers in different columns are the same, I want it that way, however, I would also like it to count up, so if it chose 7 from col1 then it should start from a number greater than 7 in col2 and if it is, say 10, then it should choose one of the numbers in col3 that is greater than 10 and so on until col5.
Can you please help me?
Thank you
Amazing thanks very much
You get all the respect bro
❤️❤️❤️❤️
