Random Double Minutes

Question

Hello There,

I am running a worker service randomly as follows. I wonder if I can change these start-end minutes to double?

private TimeSpan GetRandomInterval()
        {
            var start = short.Parse(_configuration["Timer:Start"]);
            var end = short.Parse(_configuration["Timer:End"]);
            var random = new Random();
            var minutes = random.Next(start, end);
            return TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes);
        }

"Timer": {
    "Start": "1",
    "End": "3"
  }

Hi, Cenk

You could use random.NextDouble: Random Number Between 2 Double Numbers

public double GetRandomNumber(double minimum, double maximum)
{ 
    Random random = new Random();
    return random.NextDouble() * (maximum - minimum) + minimum;
}

Best regards,
