ENH: np.random.rand: support dtype= parameter #29461
Description
Proposed new feature or change:
I propose adding an optional dtype argument to numpy.random.rand so that users can specify the output array’s data type.
example
>>> np.random.rand(3, 2)
array([[0.09799155, 0.80168949],
[0.58717916, 0.44092481],
[0.73663285, 0.25938858]])
>>> np.random.rand(3, 2, dtype=np.float32)
array([[0.13287361, 0.5196258 ],
[0.60567766, 0.11989909],
[0.3108553 , 0.6204756 ]], dtype=float32)
