randintに気をつけよう

Posted at

Pythonのrandintでハマったのメモ。
ある区間内のランダムな整数を返す関数として、random.randintとnumpy.random.randintがありますが、これら実は仕様が違います。

ドキュメントを見てみましょう。まずはrandom.randintから

randint(self, a, b) method of random.Random instance
Return random integer in range [a, b], including both end points.

次にnumpy.random.randint

randint(low, high=None, size=None)

Return random integers from low (inclusive) to high (exclusive).

Return random integers from the "discrete uniform" distribution in the
"half-open" interval [low, high). If high is None (the default),
then results are from [0, low).

つまりrandom.randint(a,b)はaからbまでの整数(bを含む)が返ってくる可能性があり、numpy.random.randint(a,b)はaからb-1までの整数が返ってくる可能性があるんですね。

なんじゃこりゃあああ!紛らわしい!

どっちが自然な仕様かというと後者だと思います。例えば、range(1,5)は[1,2,3,4]が返ってくるし。

では、Happy Halloween and Happy Hacking!
