Python built-in Modules [31 exercises with solution]

[An editor is available at the bottom of the page to write and execute the scripts.]

Python comes with a library of standard modules. Some modules are built into the interpreter; these provide access to operations that are not part of the core of the language but are nevertheless built in, either for efficiency or to provide access to operating system primitives such as system calls.

Following exercises based on important methods of useful Python built in modules.

Module - random

1. Write a Python program to generate a random color hex, a random alphabetical string, random value between two integers (inclusive) and a random multiple of 7 between 0 and 70. Use random.randint()
