Remarks

Because this class operates on a global random generator, the individual random objects will interfere with each other. Therefore, it is not possible to predict the sequence of numbers for a specific random object.

Examples

The following example prints 100 random numbers.

static void example() 
{ 
    Random myRand = new Random(); 
    int i; 
    for(i=0;i<100;i++) 
    { 
        print myRand.nextInt(); 
    } 
}
