+### Loading text files
+
+
+The `numpy.loadtxt` function is capable of loading numerical data from
+plain-text files. By default it expects space-separated data:
+
+
+```
+data = np.loadtxt('04_numpy/space_separated.txt')
+print('data in 04_numpy/space_separated.txt:')
+print(data)
+```
+
+
+But you can also specify the delimiter to expect<sup>1</sup>:
+
+
+```
+data = np.loadtxt('04_numpy/comma_separated.txt', delimiter=',')
+print('data in 04_numpy/comma_separated.txt:')
+print(data)

+> and newline characters - see the
+> [docs](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.loadtxt.html)
+> for more information.
+
+
+  Of course you can also save data out to a text file just as easily, with
+[`numpy.savetxt`](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.savetxt.html):
+
+
+```
+data = np.random.randint(1, 10, (10, 10))
+np.savetxt('mydata.txt', data, delimiter=',', fmt='%i')

 ## Appendix A: Generating random numbers
 
 
+Numpy's
+[`numpy.random`](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/routines.random.html)
+module is where you should go if you want to introduce a little randomness
+into your code.  You have already seen a couple of functions for generating
+uniformly distributed real or integer data:
+
+
+```
+import numpy.random as npr
+
+print('Random floats between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive):')
+print(npr.random((3, 3)))
+
+print('Random integers in a specified range:')
+print(npr.randint(1, 100, (3, 3)))
+```
+
+
+You can also draw random data from other distributions - here are just a few
+examples:
+
+
+```
+print('Gaussian (mean: 0, stddev: 1):')
+print(npr.normal(0, 1, (3, 3)))
+
+print('Gamma (shape: 1, scale: 1):')
+print(npr.normal(1, 1, (3, 3)))
+
+print('Chi-square (dof: 10):')
+print(npr.chisquare(10, (3, 3)))
+```
+
+
+The `numpy.random` module also has a couple of other handy functions for
+random sampling of existing data:
+
+
+```
+data = np.arange(5)
+
+print('data:               ', data)
+print('two random values:  ', npr.choice(data, 2))
+print('random permutation: ', npr.permutation(data))
+
+# The numpy.random.shuffle function
+# will shuffle an array *in-place*.
+npr.shuffle(data)
+print('randomly shuffled: ', data)
+```
