Random

Generate a random integer in a given range

Produce a random integer between 100 and 200 inclusive
scala
val rnd = new GenRandInt(100, 200)
val randomInt = rnd.next
val rnd = new scala.util.Random
val range = 100 to 200
println(range(rnd.nextInt(range length)))
java
Random random = new Random();
int randomInt = random.nextInt(200-100+1)+100;

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.
scala
val rnd = new scala.util.Random(12345)
(1 until 6) foreach { (_) => printf("%d ", 100 + rnd.nextInt(200)) } ; println()

rnd.setSeed(12345)
(1 until 6) foreach { (_) => printf("%d ", 100 + rnd.nextInt(200)) } ; println()
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(); }
