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`.

当前回答

您可以使用Random类生成随机数,然后使用.nextInt(maxNumber)生成随机数。maxNumber是生成随机数时所需的最大值。请记住,Random类给你的是0到maxNumber-1的数字。

Random r = new Random();
int i = r.nextInt();

另一种方法是使用Math.Random()类,许多学校的课程都要求您使用该类,因为它更高效,而且您不必声明新的Random对象。要使用Math.random()获取随机数,请键入:

Math.random() * (max - min) + min;

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.
 rand.nextInt((max+1) - min) + min;

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。

Java 17引入了RandomGenerator接口,它提供了一个int nextInt(int origin,int bound)方法来获取范围内的随机整数:

// Returns a random int between minimum (inclusive) & maximum (exclusive)
int randomInt = RandomGenerator.getDefault().nextInt(minimum, maximum);

除了用于Java17中添加的新的随机生成算法之外,该接口还添加到现有的随机生成类(random、SecureRandom、SplitableRandom和ThreadLocalRandom)中。因此,从Java 17开始,这些类具有以下有界nextInt方法:

new Random().nextInt(minimum, maximum);
new SecureRandom().nextInt(minimum, maximum);
new SplittableRandom().nextInt(minimum, maximum);
new ThreadLocalRandom().nextInt(minimum, maximum);

从Java17开始,这种方法是Random和SecureRandom的新方法。在Java17之前,ThreadLocalRandom和SplitableRandom已经有了这个方法,尽管它不是由共享接口指定的。

以下是使用Random和forEach的另一个示例

int firstNum = 20;//Inclusive
int lastNum = 50;//Exclusive
int streamSize = 10;
Random num = new Random().ints(10, 20, 50).forEach(System.out::println);
