Python: Construct a seeded random number and float number generator


4. Seeded Random Float Generation

Write a Python program to construct a seeded random number generator, also generate a float between 0 and 1, excluding 1.

Use random.random()

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import random
print("Construct a seeded random number generator:")
print(random.Random().random())
print(random.Random(0).random())
print("\nGenerate a float between 0 and 1, excluding 1:")
print(random.random())

Sample Output:

Construct a seeded random number generator:
0.4209937412831368
0.8444218515250481

Generate a float between 0 and 1, excluding 1:
0.5000494615698478

  • Write a Python program to seed the random number generator with a fixed value and then generate a float between 0 and 1 using random.random(), printing the result twice to verify reproducibility.
  • Write a Python script that seeds the RNG, generates a random float, and then uses that float to scale a list of numbers, printing the scaled list.
  • Write a Python function that creates a seeded random number generator and returns a random float between 0 and 1, excluding 1, with a custom seed passed as an argument.
  • Write a Python program to compare two random floats generated with the same seed to confirm they are equal, then change the seed and show a different outcome.
