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`.

请原谅我过于挑剔，但大多数人建议的解决方案，即min+rng.nextInt（max-min+1），似乎很危险，因为：
rng.nextInt（n）无法达到整数.MAX_VALUE。当min为负值时，（max-min）可能会导致溢出。
万无一失的解决方案将为[Integer.min_VALUE，Integer.max_VALUE]内的任何min<=max返回正确的结果。请考虑以下简单的实现：
int nextIntInRange(int min, int max, Random rng) {
if (min > max) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot draw random int from invalid range [" + min + ", " + max + "].");
}
int diff = max - min;
if (diff >= 0 && diff != Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
return (min + rng.nextInt(diff + 1));
}
int i;
do {
i = rng.nextInt();
} while (i < min || i > max);
return i;
}
尽管效率低下，但请注意while循环中成功的概率始终为50%或更高。

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));
在Java 1.7或更高版本中，执行此操作的标准方法如下：
import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom;
// nextInt is normally exclusive of the top value,
// so add 1 to make it inclusive
int randomNum = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(min, max + 1);
请参阅相关的JavaDoc。这种方法的优点是不需要显式初始化java.util.Random实例，如果使用不当，可能会导致混淆和错误。
然而，相反，没有办法明确设置种子，因此在测试或保存游戏状态等有用的情况下，很难再现结果。在这些情况下，可以使用下面所示的Java 1.7之前的技术。
在Java 1.7之前，执行此操作的标准方法如下：
import java.util.Random;
/**
* Returns a pseudo-random number between min and max, inclusive.
* The difference between min and max can be at most
* <code>Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1</code>.
*
* @param min Minimum value
* @param max Maximum value. Must be greater than min.
* @return Integer between min and max, inclusive.
* @see java.util.Random#nextInt(int)
*/
public static int randInt(int min, int max) {
// NOTE: This will (intentionally) not run as written so that folks
// copy-pasting have to think about how to initialize their
// Random instance. Initialization of the Random instance is outside
// the main scope of the question, but some decent options are to have
// a field that is initialized once and then re-used as needed or to
// use ThreadLocalRandom (if using at least Java 1.7).
//
// In particular, do NOT do 'Random rand = new Random()' here or you
// will get not very good / not very random results.
Random rand;
// nextInt is normally exclusive of the top value,
// so add 1 to make it inclusive
int randomNum = rand.nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min;
return randomNum;
}
请参阅相关的JavaDoc。实际上，java.util.Random类通常比java.lang.Math.Random（）更好。
特别是，当标准库中有一个简单的API来完成任务时，无需重新发明随机整数生成轮。
我发现这个例子生成随机数：
此示例生成特定范围内的随机整数。
import java.util.Random;
/** Generate random integers in a certain range. */
public final class RandomRange {
public static final void main(String... aArgs){
log("Generating random integers in the range 1..10.");
int START = 1;
int END = 10;
Random random = new Random();
for (int idx = 1; idx <= 10; ++idx){
showRandomInteger(START, END, random);
}
log("Done.");
}
private static void showRandomInteger(int aStart, int aEnd, Random aRandom){
if ( aStart > aEnd ) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Start cannot exceed End.");
}
//get the range, casting to long to avoid overflow problems
long range = (long)aEnd - (long)aStart + 1;
// compute a fraction of the range, 0 <= frac < range
long fraction = (long)(range * aRandom.nextDouble());
int randomNumber = (int)(fraction + aStart);
log("Generated : " + randomNumber);
}
private static void log(String aMessage){
System.out.println(aMessage);
}
}
此类的示例运行：
Generating random integers in the range 1..10.
Generated : 9
Generated : 3
Generated : 3
Generated : 9
Generated : 4
Generated : 1
Generated : 3
Generated : 9
Generated : 10
Generated : 10
Done.
使用这些方法可能很方便：
此方法将返回提供的最小值和最大值之间的随机数：
public static int getRandomNumberBetween(int min, int max) {
Random foo = new Random();
int randomNumber = foo.nextInt(max - min) + min;
if (randomNumber == min) {
// Since the random number is between the min and max values, simply add 1
return min + 1;
} else {
return randomNumber;
}
}
并且该方法将从所提供的最小值和最大值返回随机数（因此生成的数也可以是最小值或最大值）：
public static int getRandomNumberFrom(int min, int max) {
Random foo = new Random();
int randomNumber = foo.nextInt((max + 1) - min) + min;
return randomNumber;
}
请原谅我过于挑剔，但大多数人建议的解决方案，即min+rng.nextInt（max-min+1），似乎很危险，因为：
rng.nextInt（n）无法达到整数.MAX_VALUE。当min为负值时，（max-min）可能会导致溢出。
万无一失的解决方案将为[Integer.min_VALUE，Integer.max_VALUE]内的任何min<=max返回正确的结果。请考虑以下简单的实现：
int nextIntInRange(int min, int max, Random rng) {
if (min > max) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot draw random int from invalid range [" + min + ", " + max + "].");
}
int diff = max - min;
if (diff >= 0 && diff != Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
return (min + rng.nextInt(diff + 1));
}
int i;
do {
i = rng.nextInt();
} while (i < min || i > max);
return i;
}
尽管效率低下，但请注意while循环中成功的概率始终为50%或更高。
