Member Function Documentation

Next() [1/3]

int DotNetDupe::System::Random::Next ( )

virtual

Returns a non-negative random integer.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer that is greater than or equal to 0 and less than Int32.MaxValue.

Initialize Mersenne Twister engine with current seed and draw non-negative integer.

Definition at line 11 of file Random.cpp.

Next() [2/3]

int DotNetDupe::System::Random::Next ( int maxValue )

virtual

Returns a non-negative random integer that is less than the specified maximum.

Parameters

maxValue

The exclusive upper bound of the random number to be generated.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer that is greater than or equal to 0, and less than maxValue.

Sample uniform distribution across [0, maxValue].

Definition at line 18 of file Random.cpp.

Next() [3/3]

int DotNetDupe::System::Random::Next ( int minValue, int maxValue )

virtual

Returns a random integer that is within a specified range.

Parameters

minValue	The inclusive lower bound of the random number returned.
maxValue	The exclusive upper bound of the random number returned.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer greater than or equal to minValue and less than maxValue.

Sample uniform distribution across [minValue, maxValue].

Definition at line 25 of file Random.cpp.

NextBytes()

void DotNetDupe::System::Random::NextBytes ( unsigned char * buffer, int bufferSize )

virtual

Fills the elements of a specified array of bytes with random numbers.

Parameters

buffer	An array of bytes to contain random numbers.
bufferSize	The number of bytes to fill.

Generate random bytes across entire buffer span.

Definition at line 32 of file Random.cpp.

NextDouble()

double DotNetDupe::System::Random::NextDouble ( )

virtual

Returns a random floating-point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0.

Returns

A double-precision floating point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0.

Sample uniform real distribution in interval [0.0, 1.0).
