Hi Terry, the functionality you have provided is already covered by the random.uniform function On 2 February 2017 at 12:01, <himchanterry@gmail.com> wrote:
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 😊
