When you install SPIKE, several commonly used libraries are installed along with it. One of these is the "random" library. This library allows us to generate random numbers within a range that we choose.
Each time the program starts, the generated numbers will usually be different, although sometimes the same number may appear again. After all, they are random!
In order to use this library, we must import it first. To do this, add the following line to the beginning of your program:
import random
Now we can use the commands from this library!
To generate a random number, we can use the random.randint() command. This command has two input parameters:
Here is an example where we store a random number between 0 and 10 in a variable called "random_number":
random_number = random.randint(0, 10)
