Python comprehension for random floats

import random as rd
print([round(rd.random(), 3) for num in range(20)])

So this prints 20 random numbers shortened to 3 decimals.
How would I write the code so that it writes only random numbers higher than 0.4 but lower than or equal to 1? Any combination of if statements I try yields an error.

Use random.uniform().

Here is the documentation.

import random as rd
print([round(rd.uniform(0.4, 1.0), 3) for num in range(20)])

Why do you round the values? You can also use random integers divided by 1000:

import random as rd
print([rd.randint(401, 1000) / 1000 for num in range(20)])

The lowest you will get is 0.401 the highest is 1.0
