Mojo module

random

Provides functions for random numbers.

You can import these APIs from the random package. For example:

from random import seed

Warning: This module provides a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) suitable for simulations, games, and general statistical purposes. It is NOT cryptographically secure and should not be used for security-sensitive applications such as generating passwords, authentication tokens, encryption keys, or any other security-critical random values.

Functions

• ​rand: Fills memory with random values from a uniform distribution.
• ​randint: Fills memory with uniform random in range [low, high].
• ​randn: Fills memory with random values from a Normal(mean, standard_deviation) distribution.
• ​randn_float64: Returns a random double sampled from a Normal(mean, standard_deviation) distribution.
• ​random_float64: Returns a random Float64 number from the given range.
• ​random_si64: Returns a random Int64 number from the given range.
• ​random_ui64: Returns a random UInt64 number from the given range.
• ​seed: Seeds the random number generator using the current time.
• ​shuffle: Shuffles the elements of the list randomly.
