# numpy.random.rand

random.rand(d0, d1, ..., dn)

  Random values in a given shape.

  Note

  This is a convenience function for users porting code from Matlab, and wraps `random_sample`. That function takes a tuple to specify the size of the output, which is consistent with other NumPy functions like `numpy.zeros` and `numpy.ones`.

  Create an array of the given shape and populate it with random samples from a uniform distribution over `[0, 1)`.

  Parameters
    d0, d1, …, dn int, optional

      The dimensions of the returned array, must be non-negative. If no argument is given a single Python float is returned.

  Returns
    out ndarray, shape `(d0, d1, ..., dn)`

      Random values.

      >>> np.random.rand(3,2)
      array([[ 0.14022471,  0.96360618],  #random
             [ 0.37601032,  0.25528411],  #random
             [ 0.49313049,  0.94909878]]) #random
