# otp.math.frand

### frand(min_value=0, max_value=1, \*, seed=None)

Returns a pseudo-random value in the range between `min_value` and `max_value`.

* **Parameters:**
  * **min_value** (float, [`Operation`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Operation), [`Column`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Column))
  * **max_value** (float, [`Operation`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Operation), [`Column`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Column))
  * **seed** (int, [`Operation`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Operation), [`Column`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Column)) -- If not specified, the function produces different values each time a query is invoked.
    If specified, for this seed the function produces the same sequence of values
    each time a query is invoked.
* **Return type:**
  [`Operation`](../../operation/root.md#onetick.py.Operation)
