Random generator in CSharp

In this article, we are dealing with Random in CSharp. In programming, it is common to have a random event in its program. Most programming languages ​​offer a class that acts as a random number generator.

The best way to illustrate this is by means of a cube.

Example of a Random generator in CSharp

class Program
{
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Random cube = new Random();
            int pips;

            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                
                pips = cube.Next(1, 7);
                Console.WriteLine(pips);
                
            }
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

In order to use the random generator, we need to create an object of the Random class and need to initialise it. Then we can do the following:

pips = cube.Next(1, 7);

The 1 in the parentheses stands for the smallest number of numbers from which a random one is to be determined. And the 7 the boundary. Although we only want to have values ​​up to 6, we have to specify the 7, so the next larger number.

The For loop I have now used here to get 10 values ​​and show that it is really a Random generator.

There is also the possibility to get even more random values, with nextDouble e.g. . For details on the Random class, I can also recommend the documentation here.
