ExtendedRandom Class

Extends the functionality of Random.

Definition

Namespace: Extreme.Mathematics.Random
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics (in Extreme.Numerics.dll) Version: 8.1.23

public class ExtendedRandom : Random

Visual Basic

Public Class ExtendedRandom
	Inherits Random

C++/CLI

public ref class ExtendedRandom : public Random

type ExtendedRandom = 
    class
        inherit Random
    end

Inheritance: Object → Random → ExtendedRandom

Derived: Extreme.Mathematics.Random.ParallelRandom
Extreme.Mathematics.Random.RandomWordGenerator
Extreme.Mathematics.Random.RanLux
Extreme.Mathematics.Random.RanLux24

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.

Methods

Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetItems``1(UMP[], Int32)	Creates an array populated with items chosen at random from the provided set of choices. (Inherited from Random)
GetItems``1(ReadOnlySpan<UMP>, Int32)	Creates an array populated with items chosen at random from the provided set of choices. (Inherited from Random)
GetItems``1(ReadOnlySpan<UMP>, Span<UMP>)	Fills the elements of a specified span with items chosen at random from the provided set of choices. (Inherited from Random)
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Next()	Returns a non-negative random integer. (Inherited from Random)
Next(Int32)	Returns a non-negative random integer that is less than the specified maximum. (Inherited from Random)
Next(Int32, Int32)	Returns a random integer that is within a specified range. (Inherited from Random)
NextBytes(Byte[])	Fills the elements of a specified array of bytes with random numbers. (Inherited from Random)
NextBytes(Span<Byte>)	Fills the elements of a specified span of bytes with random numbers. (Inherited from Random)
NextDouble	Returns a random floating-point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0. (Inherited from Random)
NextInt64()	Returns a non-negative random integer. (Inherited from Random)
NextInt64(Int64)	Returns a non-negative random integer that is less than the specified maximum. (Inherited from Random)
NextInt64(Int64, Int64)	Returns a random integer that is within a specified range. (Inherited from Random)
NextSingle	Returns a random floating-point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0. (Inherited from Random)
Restart()	Restarts the random number generator using the original seed.
Restart(Int32)	Restarts the random number generator using the specified seed.
Sample	Returns a random floating-point number between 0.0 and 1.0. (Inherited from Random)
Shuffle``1(UMP[])	Performs an in-place shuffle of an array. (Inherited from Random)
Shuffle``1(Span<UMP>)	Performs an in-place shuffle of a span. (Inherited from Random)
ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
