It's fairly common when working with data to have to generate and use random numbers for statistics purposes and Julia provides many features for using random data, some of which we'll take a look at in this example. So I'll start up Random Start in my Editor here. And you can see that I imported the Random Module at the top of my file using the Using statement. So this imports the Random Module into my code and gives me access to the functions and features available in that module. So let's try something simple. We'll us the Rand function to create a random number. So I'm going to Print Line, and I'm going to call the Rand function with no arguments.
