SLR1 Random Number generation

Question 1

How does C sharp generate random numbers?

Answer 1

C# provides the Random class to generate random numbers based on the seed value.

Question 2

What would be some code to generate a random number?

Answer 2

Random rnd = new Random();
int num = rnd.Next();

Question 3

What code would generate multiple random numbers?

Answer 3

Random rnd = new Random();

for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
{
Console.WriteLine(rnd.Next());
}

Question 4

What code would allow me t generate random numbers within a range. E.g., less than 10

Answer 4

Next(int)

e.g., Next(10)

Question 5

What code would allow me t generate random numbers within a range. (maximum and minimum value)

Answer 5

Next(int min, int max)

Question 6

How to generate a random decimal number

Answer 6

NextDouble()

Question 7

How is a seed value generated?

Answer 7

The Random class uses the seed value as a starting value for the pseudo-random number generation algorithm

Question 8

How des the random class work for seed values?

Answer 8

• Random class uses the system clock to generate its seed value
• This means that each instance of the Random class can generate different random numbers.
