How do I make a random number in python?

On repl.it, import Math does not work, so I can not use math.random to make a random number. What do I do to generate a number?

hot new top

this:
import random
x = random.randrange(1,100)

First you import random. then use the function randrange to create the random number, with the first parameter being the lowest number it can generate, and the second being the highest.
Hope this helped you out!

apparently, your supposed to do:
import random
x = random.randint(1, 100)
print(x)

thank you it worked! I hope you will check out this project when it is finished!

if you dont want to import whole random lib, you could use
from random import randint

x = randint(1, 100)
print(x)

randint doesn't work.

randint isnt a thing on this site

how to generate random numbers

If you want just a random integer and not a floating point, here is the solution:

a=random.randint(1,100);
print(a);

here's some code for you to look at: https://repl.it/@UzayAnil/guesspy
in the code, look at lines 1-10.

Send me the link to your repl.

Try import randint from random

does not work due to incorrect syntax

its the wrong way around its needs to be
from random import randint

you should be able to import math

did you remember to install it as a package?

which one?:

the top one?

yes I think so

When i try to install pycopy-math, it gives me an error message that the package installation failed.

math is part of the standard libaray, so all you have to do is:


import math

But for random integers, you can use:


from random import randint
num = randint(0, 100)

This worked! Thanks!
