How do you add random numbers in Python?

To add random numbers in Python, you first need to generate them using the random module, and then perform an addition operation using those generated random numbers.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

Generating Random Numbers

First, you need to import the random module, as stated in the reference: "We first import the random module of Python." This module provides functions for generating random numbers.

The random.random() function, also mentioned in the reference ("Then, we call the random() method to get a random float between 0-1 and store it in the variable n") can be used to generate a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 (inclusive of 0, but not including 1).

Adding Random Numbers

Once you've generated one or more random numbers, you can add them just like you would add regular numerical values. Below are examples of how to do this.

Example 1: Adding Two Random Floats

import random

# Generate two random floats between 0 and 1
random_number1 = random.random()
random_number2 = random.random()

# Add the two random numbers together
sum_of_numbers = random_number1 + random_number2

# Print the random numbers and their sum.
print(f"Random Number 1: {random_number1}")
print(f"Random Number 2: {random_number2}")
print(f"Sum of the random numbers: {sum_of_numbers}")

Example 2: Adding Random Integers

To add random integers instead, you can use other methods from the random module such as random.randint() which takes the lower and upper bounds as arguments and returns a random integer in that range (inclusive):

import random

# Generate two random integers between 1 and 10
random_int1 = random.randint(1, 10)
random_int2 = random.randint(1, 10)

# Add the two random integers together
sum_of_ints = random_int1 + random_int2

# Print the random numbers and their sum.
print(f"Random Integer 1: {random_int1}")
print(f"Random Integer 2: {random_int2}")
print(f"Sum of the random integers: {sum_of_ints}")

Summary of Steps:

Import the random module: import random
Generate random numbers: Use functions like random.random(), or random.randint() to generate your random numbers.
Add the random numbers together: Use the standard + operator to perform the addition.

By combining these steps, you can effectively add random numbers in Python.
