Random sampling in numpy | random() function

numpy.random.random() is one of the function for doing random sampling in numpy. It returns an array of specified shape and fills it with random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0).

Syntax : numpy.random.random(size=None)

Parameters :
size : [int or tuple of ints, optional] Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.

Return : Array of random floats in the interval [0.0, 1.0). or a single such random float if size not provided.

Code #1 :

# Python program explaining
# numpy.random.random() function

# importing numpy
import numpy as geek


# output array
out_arr = geek.random.random(size = 3)
print ("Output 1D Array filled with random floats : ", out_arr)

Output :

Output 1D Array filled with random floats :  [ 0.21698734  0.01617363  0.70382199]

Code #2 :

# Python program explaining
# numpy.random.random() function

# importing numpy
import numpy as geek


# output array
out_arr = geek.random.random(size =(2, 4))
print ("Output 2D Array filled with random floats : ", out_arr)

Output :

Output 2D Array filled with random floats :  [[ 0.95423066  0.35595927  0.76048569  0.90163066]
