Overview

All PRNG or RNG have implement interface IRNG.

All RNG's can be divided into 2, based on internal state:

• Random 32-bit
• Random 64-bit

Here's the struture:

• IRNG
  • Random32
    • rng 32 bit
  • Random64
    • rng 64 bit

Here's list of method you can use.

• AlgorithmName()
• Reseed()
• NextBoolean()
• NextByte()
• NextByte(byte lower, byte upper)
• NextBytes(int length)
• NextInt()
• NextInt(uint lower, uint upper)
• NextLong()
• NextLong(ulong lower, ulong upper)
• NextDouble()
• NextDouble(double lower, double upper)

AlgorithmName()

Return the name of the algorithm this RNG implements.

Reseed()

Seed the internal state from System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider.

If you want to manually seed the RNG or internal state, please create new instance. Because all RNG have different how they accept the seed, some accept 1 seed and some accept multiple seed.

NextBoolean()

Return a random C# true or C# false .

NextByte()

Return a random value from 0 to 255.

NextByte(byte lower, byte upper)

Return random number between lower and upper but the value must be in range 0 to 255.

Parameter

• lower

  The lower bound or minimal value to generate.

• upper

  The upper bound or maximal value to generate.

Exception

• ArgumentException

  The lower bound must not be greater than or equal to the upper bound.

NextBytes(int length)

Return array of bytes with length as requested.

Parameter

• length

  Requested size or length of array.

NextInt()

Return a 32-bit unsigned integer.

NextInt(uint lower, uint upper)

Return random number between lower and upper but the value must be in range 0 to 4,294,967,295.

Parameter

• lower

  The lower bound or minimal value to generate.

• upper

  The upper bound or maximal value to generate.

Exception

• ArgumentException

  The lower bound must not be greater than or equal to the upper bound.

NextLong()

Return a 64-bit unsigned integer.

NextLong(ulong lower, ulong upper)

Return random number between lower and upper but the value must be in range 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

Parameter

• lower

  The lower bound or minimal value to generate.

• upper

  The upper bound or maximal value to generate.

Exception

• ArgumentException

  The lower bound must not be greater than or equal to the upper bound.

NextDouble()

Return a 64-bit floating point.

NextDouble(double lower, double upper)

Return random number between lower and upper.

Parameter

• lower

  The lower bound or minimal value to generate.

• upper

  The upper bound or maximal value to generate.

Exception

• ArgumentException

  The lower bound must not be greater than or equal to the upper bound.

Extra Method

This method only exist in Random32 and Random64 only
