Swift 4.2编辑

从Swift 4.2开始，你可以使用Swift自己的本地函数，而不是使用导入的C函数arc4random_uniform()。

// Generates integers starting with 0 up to, and including, 10
Int.random(in: 0 ... 10)

你也可以使用random(in:)来获取其他原始值的随机值;比如Int型，Double型，Float型，甚至Bool型。

Swift版本< 4.2

该方法将在给定的最小值和最大值之间生成一个随机Int值

func randomInt(min: Int, max: Int) -> Int {
    return min + Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(max - min + 1)))
}

编辑:为Swift 3.0更新

arc4random在Swift中工作得很好，但基本函数仅限于32位整数类型(Int在iPhone 5S和现代mac上是64位)。下面是一个泛型函数，用于表示可以用整型字面值表示的类型的随机数:

public func arc4random<T: ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral>(_ type: T.Type) -> T {
    var r: T = 0
    arc4random_buf(&r, MemoryLayout<T>.size)
    return r
}

我们可以使用这个新的泛型函数扩展UInt64，增加边界参数并减少模偏置。(这是从arc4random.c直接引用的)

public extension UInt64 {
    public static func random(lower: UInt64 = min, upper: UInt64 = max) -> UInt64 {
        var m: UInt64
        let u = upper - lower
        var r = arc4random(UInt64.self)

        if u > UInt64(Int64.max) {
            m = 1 + ~u
        } else {
            m = ((max - (u * 2)) + 1) % u
        }

        while r < m {
            r = arc4random(UInt64.self)
        }

        return (r % u) + lower
    }
}

这样我们就可以将Int64扩展为相同的参数，处理溢出:

public extension Int64 {
    public static func random(lower: Int64 = min, upper: Int64 = max) -> Int64 {
        let (s, overflow) = Int64.subtractWithOverflow(upper, lower)
        let u = overflow ? UInt64.max - UInt64(~s) : UInt64(s)
        let r = UInt64.random(upper: u)

        if r > UInt64(Int64.max)  {
            return Int64(r - (UInt64(~lower) + 1))
        } else {
            return Int64(r) + lower
        }
    }
}

为了让家庭更完整……

private let _wordSize = __WORDSIZE

public extension UInt32 {
    public static func random(lower: UInt32 = min, upper: UInt32 = max) -> UInt32 {
        return arc4random_uniform(upper - lower) + lower
    }
}

public extension Int32 {
    public static func random(lower: Int32 = min, upper: Int32 = max) -> Int32 {
        let r = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(Int64(upper) - Int64(lower)))
        return Int32(Int64(r) + Int64(lower))
    }
}

public extension UInt {
    public static func random(lower: UInt = min, upper: UInt = max) -> UInt {
        switch (_wordSize) {
            case 32: return UInt(UInt32.random(UInt32(lower), upper: UInt32(upper)))
            case 64: return UInt(UInt64.random(UInt64(lower), upper: UInt64(upper)))
            default: return lower
        }
    }
}

public extension Int {
    public static func random(lower: Int = min, upper: Int = max) -> Int {
        switch (_wordSize) {
            case 32: return Int(Int32.random(Int32(lower), upper: Int32(upper)))
            case 64: return Int(Int64.random(Int64(lower), upper: Int64(upper)))
            default: return lower
        }
    }
}

在所有这些之后，我们终于可以做这样的事情:

let diceRoll = UInt64.random(lower: 1, upper: 7)

我已经能够使用rand()来获得一个随机的CInt。你可以使用这样的方法使它成为Int型:

let myVar: Int = Int(rand())

你可以使用你最喜欢的C随机函数，并在需要时将值转换为Int。

这里有一个库可以很好地完成这项工作 https://github.com/thellimist/SwiftRandom

public extension Int {
    /// SwiftRandom extension
    public static func random(lower: Int = 0, _ upper: Int = 100) -> Int {
        return lower + Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(upper - lower + 1)))
    }
}

public extension Double {
    /// SwiftRandom extension
    public static func random(lower: Double = 0, _ upper: Double = 100) -> Double {
        return (Double(arc4random()) / 0xFFFFFFFF) * (upper - lower) + lower
    }
}

public extension Float {
    /// SwiftRandom extension
    public static func random(lower: Float = 0, _ upper: Float = 100) -> Float {
        return (Float(arc4random()) / 0xFFFFFFFF) * (upper - lower) + lower
    }
}

public extension CGFloat {
    /// SwiftRandom extension
    public static func random(lower: CGFloat = 0, _ upper: CGFloat = 1) -> CGFloat {
        return CGFloat(Float(arc4random()) / Float(UINT32_MAX)) * (upper - lower) + lower
    }
}

var randomNumber = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(5)))

这里5将确保随机数是从0到4生成的。您可以设置相应的值。
