如何在特定范围内生成随机int值?

以下方法存在与整数溢出相关的错误:

randomNum = minimum + (int)(Math.random() * maximum);
// Bug: `randomNum` can be bigger than `maximum`.
Random rn = new Random();
int n = maximum - minimum + 1;
int i = rn.nextInt() % n;
randomNum =  minimum + i;
// Bug: `randomNum` can be smaller than `minimum`.

我的一个朋友今天在大学里问过我同样的问题(他的要求是生成一个介于1和-1之间的随机数)。所以我写了这个,到目前为止,它在我的测试中运行良好。理想情况下,有很多方法可以在给定范围内生成随机数。试试看:

功能:

private static float getRandomNumberBetween(float numberOne, float numberTwo) throws Exception{

    if (numberOne == numberTwo){
        throw new Exception("Both the numbers can not be equal");
    }

    float rand = (float) Math.random();
    float highRange = Math.max(numberOne, numberTwo);
    float lowRange = Math.min(numberOne, numberTwo);

    float lowRand = (float) Math.floor(rand-1);
    float highRand = (float) Math.ceil(rand+1);

    float genRand = (highRange-lowRange)*((rand-lowRand)/(highRand-lowRand))+lowRange;

    return genRand;
}

执行方式如下:

System.out.println( getRandomNumberBetween(1,-1));

使用nexttint(n)方法为最小值和最大值的差值生成一个随机数,然后将最小值添加到结果中:

Random rn = new Random();
int result = rn.nextInt(max - min + 1) + min;
System.out.println(result);

我正在考虑使用以下方法将生成的随机数线性归一化到所需范围。设x为随机数,设a和b为期望归一化数的最小和最大范围。

下面是一个非常简单的代码片段,用来测试线性映射产生的范围。

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int a = 100;
    int b = 1000;
    int lowest = b;
    int highest = a;
    int count = 100000;
    Random random = new Random();
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        int nextNumber = (int) ((Math.abs(random.nextDouble()) * (b - a))) + a;
        if (nextNumber < a || nextNumber > b) {
            System.err.println("number not in range :" + nextNumber);
        }
        else {
            System.out.println(nextNumber);
        }
        if (nextNumber < lowest) {
            lowest = nextNumber;
        }
        if (nextNumber > highest) {
            highest = nextNumber;
        }
    }
    System.out.println("Produced " + count + " numbers from " + lowest
            + " to " + highest);
}

让我们举个例子。

假设我希望生成5-10之间的数字:

int max = 10;
int min = 5;
int diff = max - min;
Random rn = new Random();
int i = rn.nextInt(diff + 1);
i += min;
System.out.print("The Random Number is " + i);

让我们了解这一点。。。

用最高值初始化max,用最低值初始化min。现在,我们需要确定可以获得多少可能的值。在本例中,应为:5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10所以,这个计数应该是max-min+1。即10-5+1=6随机数将生成0-5之间的数字。即0、1、2、3、4、5将最小值添加到随机数将产生:5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 因此,我们获得了所需的范围。

System.out.println( getRandomNumberBetween(1,-1));

我认为这段代码会奏效。请尝试一下:

import java.util.Random;
public final class RandomNumber {

    public static final void main(String... aArgs) {
        log("Generating 10 random integers in range 1..10.");
        int START = 1;
        int END = 10;
        Random randomGenerator = new Random();
        for (int idx=1; idx<=10; ++idx) {

            // int randomInt=randomGenerator.nextInt(100);
            // log("Generated : " + randomInt);
            showRandomInteger(START,END,randomGenerator);
        }
        log("Done");
    }

    private static void log(String aMessage) {
        System.out.println(aMessage);
    }

    private static void showRandomInteger(int aStart, int aEnd, Random aRandom) {
        if (aStart > aEnd) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Start cannot exceed End.");
        }
        long range = (long)aEnd - (long)aStart + 1;
        long fraction = (long) (range * aRandom.nextDouble());
        int randomNumber = (int) (fraction + aStart);
        log("Generated" + randomNumber);
    }
}
