Random Generators Numpy

#1

What is the difference between numpy.random.random and numpy.random.rand ??
Both of them output an array of the given shape and populate it with random samples from a uniform distribution over [0, 1) .
The only difference I could figure out was how the arguments are handled . In numpy.random.random(), the argument is a single tuple whereas in latter , array dimensions are given as separate arguments.

hey @gautam75 ,
Yeah you are right there isn’t any difference.
If you check these links to there documentations
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.15.0/reference/generated/numpy.random.random.html
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/generated/numpy.random.rand.html

Then you will find that rand is function which indeed uses random function.
rand function was made to be used mainly for matlab , hence it was also included in python api.

So you can use any one , there is no such restriction.
