The randint method of the random module

The randint method of the random module returns a pseudo-random integer from a given range. In the first parameter of the method, we specify the initial value of the range, in the second - its final value.

Syntax

import random random.randint(beginning, end)

Example

Let's generate a number in the range from 0 to 20:

print(random.randint(0, 20))

Result of code execution:

19

Example

Now let's generate a number in the range of negative numbers:

print(random.randint(-15, -5))

Result of code execution:

-6
