Generate random number between 0.1 and 1.0. Python

Question

I\'m trying to generate a random number between 0.1 and 1.0. We can\'t use rand.randint because it returns integers. We have also tried random.uniform(0.1

Answer 1

Are you unable to use random.random()? This gives a number between 0.0 and 1.0, though you could easily set up a way to get around this.

import random
def randomForMe():
    number = random.random()
    number = round(number, 1)
    if (number == 0):
        number = 0.1

This code would give you a number that is between 0.1 and 1.0, inclusive (0.1 and 1.0 are both possible solutions). Hope this helps.

*I assumed you only wanted numbers to the tenths place. If you want it different, where I typed round(number, 1) change 1 to 2 for hundredths, 3 for thousandths, and so on.
