Python random array using randn 1

Python random array

In Python, we have the random module used to generate random numbers of a given type using the PRNG algorithm. Here, we are going to discuss the list of available functions to generate a random array in Python.

Python random array using rand

The Numpy random rand function creates an array of random numbers from 0 to 1. Here, you have to specify the shape of an array.

import numpy as np
 
arr = np.random.rand(7)
 
print('-----Generated Random Array----')
print(arr)
 
arr2 = np.random.rand(10)
print('\n-----Using rand----')
print(arr2)

Python Numpy random randint

The Numpy random randint function returns an integer array from low value to high value of given size. The syntax of this Numpy function in Python is.

numpy.random.randint(low, high = None, size = None, type = ‘l’)

Let us see the Python Numpy random randint function example

import numpy as np
 
arr = np.random.randint(0, 5, size = 4)
 
print('-----Generated Random Array----')
print(arr)
 
arr2 = np.random.randint(10, 50, size = (5, 10))
print('\n-----Generated Two Dimensional Random Array----')
print(arr2)
 
arr3 = np.random.randint(1, 40, size = (2, 3, 7))

print('-----Generated Random Array----')
print(arr)
 
arr2 = np.random.uniform(size = (5, 5))
