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。
这里有一个有用的类,可以在包含/排除边界的任意组合范围内生成随机整数:
import java.util.Random;
public class RandomRange extends Random {
public int nextIncInc(int min, int max) {
return nextInt(max - min + 1) + min;
}
public int nextExcInc(int min, int max) {
return nextInt(max - min) + 1 + min;
}
public int nextExcExc(int min, int max) {
return nextInt(max - min - 1) + 1 + min;
}
public int nextIncExc(int min, int max) {
return nextInt(max - min) + min;
}
}
