ExtendedRandom Class

Extends the functionality of Random.

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET.Random
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 9.0.4
C# 
public class ExtendedRandom : Random
Inheritance
Object  →  Random  →  ExtendedRandom
Derived

Remarks

Use the ExtendedRandom class to represent a random number generator with more functionality than the Random class supplied with the .NET Framework Base Class Libraries.

In particular, ExtendedRandom provides a [o:RandomExtensions.Fill] method which allows a sequence of pseudo-random numbers to be generated in one operation.

Constructors

ExtendedRandom Constructs a new ExtendedRandom object.
