Random

Generate a random integer in a given range

Produce a random integer between 100 and 200 inclusive
python
import random
random.randint(100, 200)
# uses best entropy source available (e.g. /dev/urandom, CryptGenRandom, ...)

import random
print random.SystemRandom().randint(100,200)
csharp
System.Random r = new System.Random();
int random = r.Next(100,201);
java
Random random = new Random();
int randomInt = random.nextInt(200-100+1)+100;
fsharp
let rnd = new Random()
let rndInt = rnd.Next(100, 201)
fantom
r := Int.random(100..200)

Generate a repeatable random number sequence

Initialise a random number generator with a seed and generate five decimal values. Reset the seed and produce the same values.
python
import random

random.seed(12345)
list1 = [random.randint(1,10) for x in range(5)]

random.seed(12345)
list2 = [random.randint(1,10) for x in range(5)]

assert(list1==list2)
csharp
using System;

public class RepeatableRandom {
public static void Main() {
var r = new Random(12); // seed is 12

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
Console.WriteLine(r.Next());

r = new Random(12);

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
Console.WriteLine(r.Next());
}
}

java
int[] arr1 = genFillRand(new int[5], new Random(12345), 100, 200);
int[] arr2 = genFillRand(new int[5], new Random(12345), 100, 200);

for (int[] arr : new int[][]{ arr1, arr2 }) { for (int i : arr) System.out.printf("%d ", i); System.out.println(); }
fsharp
let (seed, lb, ub) = (12345, 100, 200)

let mutable rnd = new Random(seed)
for i = 1 to 5 do printf "%d " (rnd.Next(lb, ub + 1)) done ; printfn ""

rnd <- new Random(seed)
for i = 1 to 5 do printf "%d " (rnd.Next(lb, ub + 1)) done ; printfn ""
