numpy.random.random(size=None)¶
Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0).
Results are from the “continuous uniform” distribution over the stated interval. To sample
multiply the output of random_sample by (b-a) and add a:
(b-a)*random_sample()+a
Parameters:size : int or tuple of ints, optional
Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.
Returns:out : float or ndarray of floats
Array of random floats of shape size (unless size=None, in which case a single float is returned).
