Of course. But, to counter-nitpick, the OP asked for "the first N
*unique* random floats". Hence distinct.
I might point out, though, that getting floats and truncating them to
two digits is wasting a lot of the processor's time, and yours in
writing it. I'd get integers first and then divide to turn them into
floats:
(map #(str (/ % 100.0)) (take 100 (distinct (repeatedly #(rand-int
10000)))))
