4.3. Standard Module rand
This module implements a pseudo-random number
generator with an interface similar to rand() in C. It defines
the following functions:
- rand () -- function of module rand
-
Returns an integer random number in the range [0 ... 32768).
- choice (s) -- function of module rand
-
Returns a random element from the sequence (string, tuple or list)
s.
- srand (seed) -- function of module rand
-
Initializes the random number generator with the given integral seed.
When the module is first imported, the random number is initialized with
the current time.
