Random
Returns a random single-precision floating-point number in [0, 1),
consuming a full 64-bit value.
Definition
Namespace: Numerics.NET.Random
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 10.3.0
C#
A single-precision floating-point number in the range [0.0f, 1.0f).

public float NextSingle()Return Value
SingleA single-precision floating-point number in the range [0.0f, 1.0f).
Remarks
This method consumes ONE full 64-bit value from the underlying RNG, extracts the top 24 bits (required for single-precision mantissa), and converts to a float in [0, 1) using the standard formula: (x >> 40) * (1.0f / (1u << 24)).
Caution
This method is less efficient than NextSingle()
because it consumes a full 64-bit value for each float. Use only when
full-width consumption is required.
