Introduction to the Python Random Library for Generating Random Numbers and Selecting Random Items from Lists

The Python random library is a built-in module that provides a variety of functions for generating random numbers and selecting random items from lists. Here are some commonly used functions in the random library:

random(): returns a random float between 0 and 1.

randint(a, b): returns a random integer between a and b (inclusive).

uniform(a, b): returns a random float between a and b (inclusive).

choice(seq): returns a random item from the given sequence (e.g. list, tuple, string).

shuffle(seq): randomly shuffles the items in the given sequence.

sample(seq, k): returns a list of k unique random items from the given sequence.

Here's an example of how to use the random library to generate a random integer:

import random

# Generate a random integer between 1 and 10 (inclusive)

random_number = random.randint(1, 10)

print(random_number)

This will output a random integer between 1 and 10 (inclusive) each time it is run.
