import

Importing is the process of adding functions from additional libraries to support your program.

Imagine we wish to use the randint() function to choose a random number between 1 and 6, as though we were throwing a single six-sided die.

The randint() function is included in the random library, but there are three ways we can import it, and each has its attractions.

import

1
2
3
4

import random

num = random.randint(1,6)
print(num)

import as

1
2
3
4

import random as ran

num = ran.randint(1,6)
print(num)

import from

1
2
3
4

from random import randint

num = randint(1,6)
print(num)
