2. Random Number Generator

Write a Python program to implement a generator that generates random numbers within a given range.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import random

def random_number_generator(start, end):
    while True:
        yield random.randint(start, end)

# Accept input from the user
start = int(input("Input the start value: "))
end = int(input("Input the end value: "))

# Create the generator object
random_numbers = random_number_generator(start, end)

# Generate and print 10 random numbers
print("Random numbers between",start,"and",end)
for _ in range(10):
    print(next(random_numbers))

Sample Output:

Input the start value: 1
Input the end value: 10
Random numbers between 1 and 10
10
6
4
6
6
5
6
2
8
9

Input the start value: 445
Input the end value: 760
Random numbers between 445 and 760
489
687
611
695
731
455
504
567
704
468

Explanation:

In the above exercise,

At first the code imports the random module, which provides functions for generating random numbers.
The "random_number_generator(start, end)" function is defined as a generator. It uses a while loop to continuously generate random numbers within the given range. It uses the yield keyword to generate random numbers.
The program prompts the user to input the start and end values for the random numbers range.
The generator object random_numbers is created by calling the random_number_generator function with the start and end values.
The program then iterates over the generator using a for loop. Here, it generates and prints 10 random numbers by calling next(random_numbers).
