How to create a DataFrame of random integers with Pandas?

numpy.random.randint accepts a third argument (size) , in which you can specify the size of the output array. You can use this to create your DataFrame

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(100, 4)), columns=list('ABCD'))

Here – np.random.randint(0,100,size=(100, 4)) – creates an output array of size (100,4) with random integer elements between [0,100) .


Demo –

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(100, 4)), columns=list('ABCD'))

which produces:

     A   B   C   D
0   45  88  44  92
1   62  34   2  86
2   85  65  11  31
3   74  43  42  56
4   90  38  34  93
5    0  94  45  10
6   58  23  23  60
