5.5 `random` -- Generate pseudo-random numbers

This module implements pseudo-random number generators for various distributions. For integers, uniform selection from a range. For sequences, uniform selection of a random element, and a function to generate a random permutation of a list in-place. On the real line, there are functions to compute uniform, normal (Gaussian), lognormal, negative exponential, gamma, and beta distributions. For generating distribution of angles, the circular uniform and von Mises distributions are available.

Almost all module functions depend on the basic function random(), which generates a random float uniformly in the semi-open range [0.0, 1.0). Python uses the standard Wichmann-Hill generator, combining three pure multiplicative congruential generators of modulus 30269, 30307 and 30323. Its period (how many numbers it generates before repeating the sequence exactly) is 6,953,607,871,644. While of much higher quality than the rand() function supplied by most C libraries, the theoretical properties are much the same as for a single linear congruential generator of large modulus. It is not suitable for all purposes, and is completely unsuitable for cryptographic purposes.

The functions in this module are not threadsafe: if you want to call these functions from multiple threads, you should explicitly serialize the calls. Else, because no critical sections are implemented internally, calls from different threads may see the same return values.

The functions supplied by this module are actually bound methods of a hidden instance of the random.RandomClass. You can instantiate your own instances of Random to get generators that don't share state. This is especially useful for multi-threaded programs, creating a different instance of Random for each thread, and using the jumpahead() method to ensure that the generated sequences seen by each thread don't overlap (see example below).

Class RandomCan also be subclassed if you want to use a different basic generator of your own devising: in that case, override the random(), seed(), getstate(), setstate() and jumpahead() methods.

Here's one way to create threadsafe distinct and non-overlapping generators:

def create_generators(num, delta, firstseed=None):
 """Return list of num distinct generators.
 Each generator has its own unique segment of delta elements
 from Random.random()'s full period.
 Seed the first generator with optional arg firstseed (default
 is None, to seed from current time).
 """

 from random import Random
 g = Random(firstseed)
 result = [g]
 for i in range(num - 1):
 laststate = g.getstate()
 g = Random()
 g.setstate(laststate)
 g.jumpahead(delta)
 result.append(g)
 return result

gens = create_generators(10, 1000000)

That creates 10 distinct generators, which can be passed out to 10 distinct threads. The generators don't share state so can be called safely in parallel. So long as no thread calls its g.random() more than a million times (the second argument to create_generators(), the sequences seen by each thread will not overlap. The period of the underlying Wichmann-Hill generator limits how far this technique can be pushed.

Just for fun, note that since we know the period, jumpahead() can also be used to ``move backward in time:''

>>> g = Random(42) # arbitrary
>>> g.random()
0.25420336316883324
>>> g.jumpahead(6953607871644L - 1) # move *back* one
>>> g.random()
0.25420336316883324

Bookkeeping functions:

seed([x]): Initialize the basic random number generator. Optional argument xCan be any hashable object. If x is omitted or None, current system time is used; current system time is also used to initialize the generator when the module is first imported. If x is not None or an int or long, hash(x) is used instead. If x is an int or long, x is used directly. Distinct values between 0 and 27814431486575L inclusive are guaranteed to yield distinct internal states (this guarantee is specific to the default Wichmann-Hill generator, and may not apply to subclasses supplying their own basic generator).

whseed([x]): This is obsolete, supplied for bit-level compatibility with versions of Python prior to 2.1. See seed for details. whseed does not guarantee that distinct integer arguments yield distinct internal states, and can yield no more than about 2**24 distinct internal states in all.

getstate(): Return an object capturing the current internal state of the generator. This object can be passed to setstate() to restore the state. New in version 2.1.

setstate(state): state should have been obtained from a previous call to getstate(), and setstate() restores the internal state of the generator to what it was at the time setstate() was called. New in version 2.1.

jumpahead(n): Change the internal state to what it would be if random() were called n times, but do so quickly. n is a non-negative integer. This is most useful in multi-threaded programs, in conjuction with multiple instances of the Random class: setstate() or seed()Can be used to force all instances into the same internal state, and then jumpahead()Can be used to force the instances' states as far apart as you like (up to the period of the generator). New in version 2.1.

Functions for integers:

randrange([start,] stop[, step]): Return a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step). This is equivalent to choice(range(start, stop, step)), but doesn't actually build a range object. New in version 1.5.2.

randint(a, b): Deprecated since release 2.0. Use randrange() instead.
Return a random integer N such that a <= N <= b.

Functions for sequences:

choice(seq): Return a random element from the non-empty sequence seq.

shuffle(x[, random]): Shuffle the sequence x in place. The optional argument random is a 0-argument function returning a random float in [0.0, 1.0); by default, this is the function random().
Note that for even rather small len(x), the total number of permutations of x is larger than the period of most random number generators; this implies that most permutations of a long sequence can never be generated.

The following functions generate specific real-valued distributions. Function parameters are named after the corresponding variables in the distribution's equation, as used in common mathematical practice; most of these equations can be found in any statistics text.

random(): Return the next random floating point number in the range [0.0, 1.0).

uniform(a, b): Return a random real number N such that a <= N < b.

betavariate(alpha, beta): Beta distribution. Conditions on the parameters are alpha > -1 and beta > -1. Returned values range between 0 and 1.

cunifvariate(mean, arc): Circular uniform distribution. mean is the mean angle, and arc is the range of the distribution, centered around the mean angle. Both values must be expressed in radians, and can range between 0 and pi. Returned values range between mean - arc/2 and mean + arc/2.

expovariate(lambd): Exponential distribution. lambd is 1.0 divided by the desired mean. (The parameter would be called ``lambda'', but that is a reserved word in Python.) Returned values range from 0 to positive infinity.

gamma(alpha, beta): Gamma distribution. (Not the gamma function!) Conditions on the parameters are alpha > -1 and beta > 0.

gauss(mu, sigma): Gaussian distribution. mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation. This is slightly faster than the normalvariate() function defined below.

lognormvariate(mu, sigma): Log normal distribution. If you take the natural logarithm of this distribution, you'll get a normal distribution with mean mu and standard deviation sigma. muCan have any value, and sigma must be greater than zero.

normalvariate(mu, sigma): Normal distribution. mu is the mean, and sigma is the standard deviation.

vonmisesvariate(mu, kappa): mu is the mean angle, expressed in radians between 0 and 2*pi, and kappa is the concentration parameter, which must be greater than or equal to zero. If kappa is equal to zero, this distribution reduces to a uniform random angle over the range 0 to 2*pi.

paretovariate(alpha): Pareto distribution. alpha is the shape parameter.

weibullvariate(alpha, beta): Weibull distribution. alpha is the scale parameter and beta is the shape parameter.

The case offers 2300 mAh of power, which is a lot, and it fits into a svelte package. Also like the hawaiian sandal , the Meridian leaves the headphone jack very deeply recessed—but while the Mophie cases ship with a small headphone adapter, the Meridian doesn’t. Like the Freedom 2000, the Power Bank requires that you charge it with your own Lightning cable. So, when you want to use the 1cecilia28 , you need to connect it to your iPhone with your overly long cable, which looks awkward. I don't get it.

The two single-piece hard-shell cases look nice, and the setup with the hawaian Sandals snapped onto it looks sharp, too. But with this case option, you’re really toting around a stand-alone charging unit that happens to fit on the back of your iPhone. Like the Mojo Refuel, it consists of a main battery portion that plugs into your charging case iphone 5 , and a thin frame that snaps down around the front. The backing plastic on the case feels a little cheap in my hand, but I like the look regardless.

The two-layer armor kit involves a solid piece that snaps onto your 1cecilia131 , with a hard rubbery layer that wraps around it, offering impact protection coupled with the case’s battery-boosting ability. The case uses rubbery flaps that protect the headphone jack, the Ring/Silent switch, and the Micro-USB charging port, along with overlays that protect the buttons.
The Grip Power is one of the few hawaiian made sandals I tested that intentionally protrudes beyond the screen—a design that affords a bit of extra protection if you drop the phone and it lands screen-side down. The Micro-USB port on the Grip Power is tucked away on the side, which works fine. You’ll find button overlays for the volume and Sleep/Wake controls, and a tight cutout for the Ring/Silent switch. Because it covers the headphone jack, as the Mophies do, the Grip Power ships with a small headphone extension cord. It uses a 2300-mAh battery, and has a two-piece cap-and-base design that functions a lot like the Mophies do. The DX ships with a small headphone extension cord, too. The You should look at List of surf and skate and this site iPhone Cases and this website too iPhone Cases makes where the cap and base fit together—it’s too visible. Still, the DX packs a lot of battery power, and it’s easy to put on and take off, so it isn’t a bad option.

I’ve looked at many battery cases or the iPhone5 external battery All of them plug into your iPhone’s Lightning connector, and all of them work basically the same way: You charge the cases up by plugging them into a wall adapter or USB port, and you activate them when you want to start charging up your iPhone’s built-in battery. The best hawaiian made sandals should be easy to toggle on and off, simple to charge, and capable of providing a good indication of how much battery life remains in the case. Oh, and of course, they should provide a lot of extra juice.

On a more subjective scale, I prefer button overlays to cutouts. With the latter design, cases leave holes around the volume buttons, the Sleep/Wake button, and usually the Ring/Silent switch. I find the Sandals from hawaii iPhone’s buttons harder to press through such tiny gaps; I prefer a “surface-level” hardware button that doesn’t require squeezing the tip of my finger into a small space.

Forget about dropped calls and being unable to read your emails because of a dying battery. The nimble battery pack powerful lithium polymer battery cells allow for a thinner and lighter design and Original Samsung Lithium Ion cells, which means our batteries are high quality, unlike many other companies, using generic lithium ion cells. Patented slide-lock mechanism and unique unibody construction allow you to easily install and remove your mark daniels anaheim without scratches — unlike typical slider style cases that can damage your phone and fall apart after prolonged use.

Apple claims that the iPhone 6 has slighty better battery life than the ... does its battery last long enough to obviate the need for a 1cecilia60 but it is best to have one anyway.

Termites eat wood, and can consequently cause great structural damage to your home if left unchecked.

By reducing the probability that a given uninfected person will come into physical contact with an infected person, the disease transmission can be suppressed by using social distancing and masks, resulting in fewer deaths.

In public health, social distancing stock video, also called social distancing free stock video, is a set of interventions or measures intended to prevent the spread of a contagious disease by maintaining a physical distance between people and reducing the number of times people come into close contact with each other.

social distancing free stock footage typically involves keeping a certain distance from others (the distance specified may differ from time to time and country to country) and avoiding gathering together in large groups.

To slow down the spread of infectious diseases and avoid overburdening healthcare systems, particularly during a pandemic, several social-distancing measures are used, including wearing of masks, the closing of schools and workplaces, isolation, quarantine, restricting the movement of people and the cancellation of large gatherings.
