So I want to randomly choose between them. I thought that I might
be able to use choice() to do that. So,

if __name__ == '__main__':

I find that what's gets run each time is BOTH of these functions,
first use_for_float_demo(), and then use_for_integer_demo()! What's going on?
What you *want* to do is choose one of two functions, and call
whichever is chosen:
fn = choice ([a, b])
result = fn ()
What you're *actually* doing is calling two functions, and returning
one result or the other:
result = choice ([a (), b ()])
I'm not sure I understand the distinction. It seems you're saying in
either case I get one result or the other. In fact, each time I run
the program, I get BOTH results.
