Generate random integers between 0 and 9

Question

How can I generate random integers between 0 and 9 (inclusive) in Python?

For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer 1

OpenTURNS allows to not only simulate the random integers but also to define the associated distribution with the UserDefined defined class.

The following simulates 12 outcomes of the distribution.

import openturns as ot
points = [[i] for i in range(10)]
distribution = ot.UserDefined(points) # By default, with equal weights.
for i in range(12):
    x = distribution.getRealization()
    print(i,x)

This prints:

0 [8]
1 [7]
2 [4]
3 [7]
4 [3]
5 [3]
6 [2]
7 [9]
8 [0]
9 [5]
10 [9]
11 [6]

The brackets are there becausex is a Point in 1-dimension. It would be easier to generate the 12 outcomes in a single call to getSample:

sample = distribution.getSample(12)

would produce:

>>> print(sample)
     [ v0 ]
 0 : [ 3  ]
 1 : [ 9  ]
 2 : [ 6  ]
 3 : [ 3  ]
 4 : [ 2  ]
 5 : [ 6  ]
 6 : [ 9  ]
 7 : [ 5  ]
 8 : [ 9  ]
 9 : [ 5  ]
10 : [ 3  ]
11 : [ 2  ]
