import random
 
from decimal import Decimal
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
 
    # the most basic random function. Generates a floating-point number between 0.0 and 1.0
    print random.random()
 
 
    # prints a random integer between the two numbers given
    # perfect to bet in the 'MEGA-SENA' lottery
    print random.randint(1, 60)
 
    # random.uniform() returns a floating-points number between the two numbers given
    # prints this number converted to decimal after rounding it to four places
    FOURPLACES = Decimal(10) ** -4 # same as Decimal('0.0001')
    print Decimal(str(random.uniform(1.6, 2.0))).quantize(FOURPLACES)
