About

This package extends the System.Random class for more random generators, such as generating random values for all numeric types with or without a range (sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, float, double, decimal) and generating a boolean value with or without a probability.

How to Use

After installing the package and adding Cayd.Random.Extensions namespace to your code, you can start using the extensions method of the package.

A few example of how to use the library:

using Cayd.Random.Extensions

Random rnd = new Random();

bool rndBool = rnd.NextBool(0.7);
decimal rndDecimal rnd.NextDecimal(100m, 1000000000m);
uint rndUint = rnd.NextUInt(100u, uint.MaxValue);
ulong rndUlong = rnd.NextULong(5000000uL);

// or for .Net 6 or higher, the static 'Shared' property can be used

bool rndBool = Random.Shared.NextBool(0.7);
decimal rndDecimal Random.Shared.NextDecimal(100m, 1000000000m);
uint rndUint = Random.Shared.NextUInt(100u, uint.MaxValue);
ulong rndUlong = Random.Shared.NextULong(5000000uL);

Extensions

  • Parameterless methods returns a random value between the type's min and max values.
  • Methods with one parameter return a random value between 0 and a specified max value.
  • Methods with two parameters return a random value within a specified range.
Type (No Parameter) Only Max Min and Max
sbyte NextSByte() NextSByte(maxValue) NextSByte(minValue, maxValue)
byte NextByte() NextByte(maxValue) NextByte(minValue, maxValue)
short NextShort() NextShort(maxValue) NextShort(minValue, maxValue)
ushort NextUShort() NextUShort(maxValue) NextUShort(minValue, maxValue)
int NextInt() NextInt(maxValue) NextInt(minValue, maxValue)
uint NextUInt() NextUInt(maxValue) NextUInt(minValue, maxValue)
long NextLong() NextLong(maxValue) NextLong(minValue, maxValue)
ulong NextULong() NextULong(maxValue) NextULong(minValue, maxValue)
float NextFloat() NextFloat(maxValue) NextFloat(minValue, maxValue)
double NextDoubleLimits() NextDouble(maxValue) NextDouble(minValue, maxValue)
decimal NextDecimal() NextDecimal(maxValue) NextDecimal(minValue, maxValue)

For boolean:

  • The parameterless method returns a random boolean value with a 50% chance of being true.
  • The method with one parameter returns a random boolean value with a specified chance of being true.
Type (No Parameter) Probability
bool NextBool() NextBool(probability)
