How is the ‘random’ function used in C#?

In C#, the Random class is used to generate pseudo-random numbers. Below are the common methods and usage of the Random class.

  1. Instantiate a Random object:
  2. Create a new instance of Random called rand.
  3. Generate random integers:
  4. – Generate a random non-negative integer.
    – Generate a random integer within a specified range.
  5. Generate random floating-point numbers.
  6. Generate a random floating point number within the range [0, 1) and Generate a random floating point number within a specified range.
  7. Generate random bytes:
  8. Generate a random array of bytes with a specified length.
  9. Mix up the order of the list.
  10. Sort the list using random numbers to achieve a randomized arrangement.

Please note that the Random class uses the system time as a seed value, so creating Random objects within a loop may result in generating the same random number sequence. To address this issue, you can create a Random object when the application starts and reuse it whenever you need random numbers.
