Using Random in Python

Give your Python programs a little unpredictability. This Block introduces the standard-library random module through practical examples: rolling numbers with random.randint(), selecting list items with random.choice(), and combining random results into tiny games and generators.

What you will learn:

• Import and use Python's random module
• Generate whole numbers with random.randint() and understand inclusive ranges
• Select one item from a non-empty list with random.choice()
• Use random results inside functions, comparisons, games, and simple generators
• Recognize common mistakes and understand why random is not suitable for security-sensitive values

By the end, you will be ready to add simple, unpredictable behavior to your own Python programs while keeping the surrounding code clear and familiar.
