Simple way to create matrix of random numbers

Question

I am trying to create a matrix of random numbers, but my solution is too long and looks ugly

random_matrix = [[random.random() for e in range(2)] for e in ra         


        

Answer 1

numpy.random.rand(row, column) generates random numbers between 0 and 1, according to the specified (m,n) parameters given. So use it to create a (m,n) matrix and multiply the matrix for the range limit and sum it with the high limit.

Analyzing: If zero is generated just the low limit will be held, but if one is generated just the high limit will be held. In order words, generating the limits using rand numpy you can generate the extreme desired numbers.

import numpy as np

high = 10
low = 5
m,n = 2,2

a = (high - low)*np.random.rand(m,n) + low

Output:

a = array([[5.91580065, 8.1117106 ],
          [6.30986984, 5.720437  ]])
