import random
Today I learned how to use the random
module in Python. One of the popular use cases is to generate a random number between two given numbers by calling random.randint(1, 10)
. In my opinion, this particular method is more powerful than JavaScript. In this case, we don't have to write the extra code to achieve the desired behavior.
In JavaScript, I used to do this:
// Generate a random number between 1 and 10
Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1);
random.seed()
random.seed()
is a fairly new concept to me. I have not fully grasped the idea yet. From what I read more on AskPython.com, it says that random.seed()
is a method that will determine the result of our random generated numbers. If we do not change the value, the output will remain the same.
I guess it means that if we do not call this method, the random number generator will possibly give us very different results every time.
Practice
I have completed yet another beginner challenge from devchallenges.io. I can't wait to tackle more challenging projects! I feel so good to build projects even if it is a simple one because I can still learn a thing or two in the process. I learned how to make the text appears vertically by using two CSS rules that are:
text-orientation: mixed;
writing-mode: vertical-rl;
