A subsequent recipe or two will show other uses, both of other functions from the module, and for other purposes.</p> <p>The uses shown in this recipe have to do with using random float values, and scaling them and offsetting them, and also how to get a repeated/predictable series of random numbers.</p>

You enter how many random numbers you want and the program will generate them.</p> <p>The num is multiplied by 10 in the upper limit within the for loop to give you larger generated integers. Adjust it as needed.</p>
