"To access a function inside the [random <img height=\"12\" style=\"display: inline-block\" src=\"../static/link/to_py.png\">](https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html) module, for example, the [random() <img height=\"12\" style=\"display: inline-block\" src=\"../static/link/to_py.png\">](https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.random) function, we use the `.` operator, formally called the attribute access operator.
