9. Set Seed and Random Float

Write a Python program to set a random seed and get a random number between 0 and 1.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import random 
print("Set a random seed and get a random number between 0 and 1:")
random.seed(0)
new_random_value = random.random()
print(new_random_value)
random.seed(1)
new_random_value = random.random()
print(new_random_value)
random.seed(2)
new_random_value = random.random()
print(new_random_value)

Sample Output:

Set a random seed and get a random number between 0 and 1:
0.8444218515250481
0.13436424411240122
0.9560342718892494

For more Practice: Solve these Related Problems:

• Write a Python program to set a specific random seed and then generate a random float between 0 and 1 using random.random(), printing the result twice to ensure consistency.
• Write a Python script to seed the random number generator, produce a random float, and then reset the seed to generate the same float again, printing both values for comparison.
• Write a Python function to set a random seed, generate a random float, and return the float along with the seed used, allowing for reproducibility tests.
• Write a Python program that demonstrates the effect of different seeds on random.random() by printing the generated floats for several seed values.
