Hi, my name is Terry, and I’d like to propose a small function that could be added into the Python’s “random” module.
This function is for generating a random float/decimal number. I would like to know if there’s such function that does the same thing, if there is, please point out to me. If not, I would like to ask you developers to add this function into future Python versions. The function code is as follow: from random import * def randfloat(x , y , maxfloatpt=None): if x > y: x , y = y , x lenx = len(str(x)) leny = len(str(y)) intx = int(x) inty = int(y) bigger = max(lenx,leny) if maxfloatpt == None: if bigger == lenx: intxlen = len(str(intx)) maxfloatpt = len(str(x)[intxlen:]) elif bigger == leny: intylen = len(str(inty)) maxfloatpt = len(str(y)[intylen:]) else: pass else: pass num = randint(intx , inty) num = str(num) num = '%s.' % num for i in range(0 , maxfloatpt): flnum = randint(0 , 9) str(flnum) num = '%s%s' % (num , flnum) return float(num) P.S.: If the indent has anything wrong, just correct me, thx! P.P.S.: The function is tested, it’s working 😊
