Los números pseudoaleatorios se eligen con la misma probabilidad de un conjunto finito de números. Los números elegidos no son completamente aleatorios porque se usa un algoritmo matemático para seleccionarlos, pero son suficientemente aleatorios para fines prácticos. La implementación actual de la Random clase se basa en una versión modificada del algoritmo generador de números aleatorios resta de Donald E. Knuth. Para obtener más información, vea D. E. Knuth. El arte de la programación informática, volumen 2: algoritmos seminuméricos. Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, tercera edición, 1997.

Para generar un número aleatorio criptográficomente seguro, como uno adecuado para crear una contraseña aleatoria, use la RNGCryptoServiceProvider clase o derive una clase de System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator.

Creación de instancias del generador de números aleatorios

Cree una instancia del generador de números aleatorios proporcionando un valor de inicialización (un valor inicial para el algoritmo de generación de números pseudoaleatorios) en un Random constructor de clase. Puede proporcionar el valor de inicialización explícita o implícitamente:

  • El Random(Int32) constructor usa un valor de inicialización explícito que se proporciona.

  • El Random() constructor usa el valor de inicialización predeterminado. Esta es la forma más común de crear instancias del generador de números aleatorios.

En .NET Framework, el valor de inicialización predeterminado depende del tiempo. En .NET Core, el generador de números pseudoaleatorios estáticos de subprocesos genera el valor de inicialización predeterminado.

Si se usa la misma inicialización para objetos independientes Random , generarán la misma serie de números aleatorios. Esto puede ser útil para crear un conjunto de pruebas que procese valores aleatorios o para reproducir juegos que deriven sus datos de números aleatorios. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que los objetos de los procesos que Random se ejecutan en versiones diferentes de .NET Framework pueden devolver diferentes series de números aleatorios, incluso si se crean instancias con valores de inicialización idénticos.

Para generar diferentes secuencias de números aleatorios, puede hacer que el valor de inicialización dependa del tiempo, lo que genera una serie diferente con cada nueva instancia de Random. El constructor con parámetros puede tomar un Int32 valor basado en el número de tics en la hora actual, mientras que el constructor sin Random() parámetros Random(Int32) usa el reloj del sistema para generar su valor de inicialización. Sin embargo, solo en .NET Framework, dado que el reloj tiene una resolución finita, el uso del constructor sin parámetros para crear objetos diferentes Random en sucesión cercana crea generadores de números aleatorios que producen secuencias idénticas de números aleatorios. En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra cómo se crean instancias de dos Random objetos en una sucesión cercana en una aplicación de .NET Framework que generan una serie idéntica de números aleatorios. En la mayoría de los sistemas Windows, Random es probable que los objetos creados en 15 milisegundos entre sí tengan valores de inicialización idénticos.

Para evitar este problema, cree un único Random objeto en lugar de varios objetos. Tenga en cuenta que la Random clase de .NET Core no tiene esta limitación.

Evitar varias instancias

En .NET Framework, inicializar dos generadores de números aleatorios en un bucle ajustado o en sucesión rápida crea dos generadores de números aleatorios que pueden producir secuencias idénticas de números aleatorios. En la mayoría de los casos, esto no es la intención del desarrollador y puede dar lugar a problemas de rendimiento, ya que crear instancias e inicializar un generador de números aleatorios es un proceso relativamente costoso.

Tanto para mejorar el rendimiento como para evitar crear accidentalmente generadores de números aleatorios independientes que generen secuencias numéricas idénticas, se recomienda crear un Random objeto para generar muchos números aleatorios a lo largo del tiempo, en lugar de crear nuevos Random objetos para generar un número aleatorio.

Sin embargo, la Random clase no es segura para subprocesos. Si llama a Random métodos desde varios subprocesos, siga las instrucciones que se describen en la sección siguiente.

La clase System.Random y la seguridad de subprocesos

En lugar de crear instancias de objetos individuales Random , se recomienda crear una sola Random instancia para generar todos los números aleatorios necesarios para la aplicación. Sin embargo, Random los objetos no son seguros para subprocesos. Si la aplicación llama a Random métodos desde varios subprocesos, debe usar un objeto de sincronización para asegurarse de que solo un subproceso pueda acceder al generador de números aleatorios a la vez. Si no garantiza que se tenga acceso al Random objeto de forma segura para subprocesos, las llamadas a métodos que devuelven números aleatorios devuelven 0.

En el ejemplo siguiente se usa la instrucción lock de C#, la función de bloqueo de F# y la instrucción SyncLock de Visual Basic para asegurarse de que 11 subprocesos acceden a un único generador de números aleatorios de una manera segura para subprocesos. Cada subproceso genera 2 millones de números aleatorios, cuenta el número de números aleatorios generados y calcula su suma y, a continuación, actualiza los totales de todos los subprocesos cuando termina de ejecutarse.

En el ejemplo se garantiza la seguridad de subprocesos de las siguientes maneras:

  • El ThreadStaticAttribute atributo se usa para definir variables locales de subproceso que realizan un seguimiento del número total de números aleatorios generados y su suma para cada subproceso.

  • Un bloqueo (la lock instrucción en C#, la lock función en F# y la SyncLock instrucción de Visual Basic) protege el acceso a las variables para el recuento total y la suma de todos los números aleatorios generados en todos los subprocesos.

  • Se usa un semáforo (el CountdownEvent objeto) para asegurarse de que el subproceso principal se bloquea hasta que todos los demás subprocesos completen la ejecución.

  • En el ejemplo se comprueba si el generador de números aleatorios se ha dañado al determinar si dos llamadas consecutivas a métodos de generación de números aleatorios devuelven 0. Si se detectan daños, en el ejemplo se usa el CancellationTokenSource objeto para indicar que se deben cancelar todos los subprocesos.

  • Antes de generar cada número aleatorio, cada subproceso comprueba el estado del CancellationToken objeto. Si se solicita cancelación, el ejemplo llama al CancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested método para cancelar el subproceso.

El ejemplo siguiente es idéntico al primero, salvo que usa un Task objeto y una expresión lambda en lugar de Thread objetos.

Difiere del primer ejemplo de las siguientes maneras:

  • Las variables para realizar un seguimiento del número de números aleatorios generados y su suma en cada tarea son locales para la tarea, por lo que no es necesario usar el ThreadStaticAttribute atributo .

  • El método estático Task.WaitAll se usa para asegurarse de que el subproceso principal no se completa antes de que finalicen todas las tareas. No es necesario para el CountdownEvent objeto .

  • La excepción resultante de la cancelación de tareas se muestra en el Task.WaitAll método . En el ejemplo anterior, cada subproceso lo controla.

Generación de diferentes tipos de números aleatorios

El generador de números aleatorios proporciona métodos que permiten generar los siguientes tipos de números aleatorios:

  • Una serie de Byte valores. Para determinar el número de valores de bytes, se pasa una matriz inicializada al número de elementos que desea que el método devuelva al NextBytes método . En el ejemplo siguiente se generan 20 bytes.

    using namespace System;
    
    void main()
    {
       Random^ rnd = gcnew Random();
       array<Byte>^ bytes = gcnew array<Byte>(20);
       rnd->NextBytes(bytes);
       for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= bytes->Length; ctr++) {
          Console::Write("{0,3}   ", bytes[ctr - 1]);
          if (ctr % 10 == 0) Console::WriteLine();
       } 
    }
    // The example displays output like the following:
    //       141    48   189    66   134   212   211    71   161    56
    //       181   166   220   133     9   252   222    57    62    62
    
    Random rnd = new Random();
    Byte[] bytes = new Byte[20];
    rnd.NextBytes(bytes);
    for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= bytes.Length; ctr++) {
       Console.Write("{0,3}   ", bytes[ctr - 1]);
       if (ctr % 10 == 0) Console.WriteLine();
    }
    
    // The example displays output like the following:
    //       141    48   189    66   134   212   211    71   161    56
    //       181   166   220   133     9   252   222    57    62    62
    
    let rnd = Random()
    let bytes = Array.zeroCreate 20
    rnd.NextBytes bytes
    
    for i = 1 to bytes.Length do
        printf "%3i   " bytes.[i - 1]
        if (i % 10 = 0) then printfn ""
    
    // The example displays output like the following:
    //       141    48   189    66   134   212   211    71   161    56

    Module Example
       Public Sub Main()
          Dim rnd As New Random()
          Dim bytes(19) As Byte
          rnd.NextBytes(bytes)

  • Entero único. Puede elegir si desea un entero entre 0 y un valor máximo (Int32.MaxValue - 1) llamando al Next() método , un entero entre 0 y un valor específico llamando al Next(Int32) método o un entero dentro de un intervalo de valores llamando al Next(Int32, Int32) método . En las sobrecargas parametrizadas, el valor máximo especificado es exclusivo; es decir, el número máximo real generado es uno menor que el valor especificado.

    En el ejemplo siguiente se llama al Next(Int32, Int32) método para generar 10 números aleatorios entre -10 y 10. Tenga en cuenta que el segundo argumento para el método especifica el límite superior exclusivo del intervalo de valores aleatorios devueltos por el método . En otras palabras, el entero más grande que el método puede devolver es uno menor que este valor.

Importante

El Next(Int32, Int32) método permite especificar el intervalo del número aleatorio devuelto. Sin embargo, el maxValue parámetro , que especifica el número devuelto por el intervalo superior, es un valor exclusivo, no inclusivo. Esto significa que la llamada al Next(0, 100) método devuelve un valor entre 0 y 99 y no entre 0 y 100.

También puede usar la Random clase para tareas como generar valores T:System.Boolean aleatorios, generar valores de punto flotante aleatorios con un intervalo distinto de 0 a 1, generar enteros aleatorios de 64 bits y recuperar aleatoriamente un elemento único de una matriz o colección. Para estas y otras tareas comunes, consulte la sección How do you use System.Random to... (Cómo se usa System.Random para... ).

Sustituir su propio algoritmo

Puede implementar su propio generador de números aleatorios heredando de la Random clase y proporcionando el algoritmo de generación de números aleatorios. Para proporcionar su propio algoritmo, debe invalidar el Sample método , que implementa el algoritmo de generación de números aleatorios. También debe invalidar los Next()métodos , Next(Int32, Int32)y NextBytes para asegurarse de que llaman al método invalidado Sample . No es necesario invalidar los Next(Int32) métodos y NextDouble .

Para obtener un ejemplo que deriva de la Random clase y modifica su generador de números pseudoaleatorios predeterminado, vea la Sample página de referencia.

¿Cómo se usa System.Random para...

En las secciones siguientes se describe y se proporciona código de ejemplo para algunas de las formas en que es posible que quiera usar números aleatorios en la aplicación.

Recuperar la misma secuencia de valores aleatorios

A veces, quieres generar la misma secuencia de números aleatorios en escenarios de prueba de software y en juego. Las pruebas con la misma secuencia de números aleatorios permiten detectar regresiones y confirmar correcciones de errores. El uso de la misma secuencia de número aleatorio en juegos te permite reproducir juegos anteriores.

Puede generar la misma secuencia de números aleatorios proporcionando el mismo valor de inicialización al Random(Int32) constructor. El valor de inicialización proporciona un valor inicial para el algoritmo de generación de números pseudoalealeadores. En el ejemplo siguiente se usa 100100 como valor de inicialización arbitrario para crear una instancia del Random objeto, se muestran 20 valores de punto flotante aleatorios y se conserva el valor de inicialización. A continuación, restaura el valor de inicialización, crea una instancia de un nuevo generador de números aleatorios y muestra los mismos 20 valores de punto flotante aleatorios. Tenga en cuenta que el ejemplo puede generar secuencias diferentes de números aleatorios si se ejecutan en versiones diferentes de .NET Framework.

Recuperar secuencias únicas de números aleatorios

Proporcionar valores de inicialización diferentes a instancias de la Random clase hace que cada generador de números aleatorios genere una secuencia de valores diferente. Puede proporcionar un valor de inicialización explícitamente llamando al Random(Int32) constructor o implícitamente llamando al Random() constructor . La mayoría de los desarrolladores llaman al constructor sin parámetros, que usa el reloj del sistema. En el ejemplo siguiente se usa este enfoque para crear instancias de dos Random instancias. Cada instancia muestra una serie de 10 enteros aleatorios.

using namespace System::Threading;

void main()
{
   Console::WriteLine("Instantiating two random number generators...");

   Random^ rnd2 = gcnew Random();
   
   Console::WriteLine("\nThe first random number generator:");
   for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 10; ctr++)
      Console::WriteLine("   {0}", rnd1->Next());

   Console::WriteLine("\nThe second random number generator:");
   for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 10; ctr++)
      Console::WriteLine("   {0}", rnd2->Next());
}

Sin embargo, debido a su resolución finita, el reloj del sistema no detecta diferencias de tiempo inferiores a aproximadamente 15 milisegundos. Por lo tanto, si el código llama a la Random() sobrecarga de .NET Framework para crear instancias de dos Random objetos en sucesión, es posible que proporcione accidentalmente los objetos con valores de inicialización idénticos. (La Random clase de .NET Core no tiene esta limitación). Para ver esto en el ejemplo anterior, convierta en comentario la llamada al Thread.Sleep método y compile y vuelva a ejecutar el ejemplo.

Para evitar que esto suceda, se recomienda crear una instancia de un solo Random objeto en lugar de varios. Sin embargo, dado Random que no es seguro para subprocesos, debe usar algún dispositivo de sincronización si accede a una Random instancia desde varios subprocesos; para obtener más información, vea La seguridad de subprocesos y la clase aleatoria anteriormente en este tema. Como alternativa, puede usar un mecanismo de retraso, como el Sleep método usado en el ejemplo anterior, para asegurarse de que las instancias se producen más de 15 milisegundos.

Recuperar enteros en un intervalo especificado

Puede recuperar enteros en un intervalo especificado llamando al Next(Int32, Int32) método , lo que le permite especificar el límite inferior y superior de los números que desea que devuelva el generador de números aleatorios. El límite superior es un valor exclusivo, no inclusivo. Es decir, no se incluye en el intervalo de valores devueltos por el método . En el ejemplo siguiente se usa este método para generar enteros aleatorios entre -10 y 10. Tenga en cuenta que especifica 11, que es uno mayor que el valor deseado, como el valor del maxValue argumento en la llamada al método.

using namespace System;

void main()
{
   Random^ rnd = gcnew Random();
   for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 15; ctr++) {
      Console::Write("{0,3}    ", rnd->Next(-10, 11));
      if(ctr % 5 == 0) Console::WriteLine();
   }
}
// The example displays output like the following:
//        -2     -5     -1     -2     10
//        -3      6     -4     -8      3
//        -7     10      5     -2      4
Random rnd = new Random();
for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 15; ctr++) {
   Console.Write("{0,3}    ", rnd.Next(-10, 11));
   if(ctr % 5 == 0) Console.WriteLine();
}

// The example displays output like the following:
//        -2     -5     -1     -2     10
//        -3      6     -4     -8      3
//        -7     10      5     -2      4
let rnd = Random()
for i = 1 to 15 do 
    printf "%3i    " (rnd.Next(-10, 11))
    if i % 5 = 0 then printfn ""
// The example displays output like the following:
//        -2     -5     -1     -2     10

Por ejemplo, para recuperar números con cuatro dígitos (es decir, números que van de 1000 a 9999), llame al Next(Int32, Int32) método con un minValue valor de 1000 y un maxValue valor de 10000, como se muestra en el ejemplo siguiente.

Recuperación de valores de punto flotante en un intervalo especificado

El NextDouble método devuelve valores de punto flotante aleatorios que van de 0 a menos de 1. Sin embargo, a menudo querrá generar valores aleatorios en algún otro intervalo.

Si el intervalo entre los valores mínimos y máximos deseados es 1, puede agregar la diferencia entre el intervalo inicial deseado y 0 al número devuelto por el NextDouble método . En el ejemplo siguiente se genera 10 números aleatorios entre -1 y 0.

using namespace System;

void main()
{
   Random^ rnd = gcnew Random();

Generación de valores booleanos aleatorios

La Random clase no proporciona métodos que generan Boolean valores. Sin embargo, puede definir su propia clase o método para hacerlo. En el ejemplo siguiente se define una clase, BooleanGenerator, con un único método, NextBoolean. La BooleanGenerator clase almacena un Random objeto como una variable privada. El NextBoolean método llama al Random.Next(Int32, Int32) método y pasa el resultado al Convert.ToBoolean(Int32) método . Tenga en cuenta que 2 se usa como argumento para especificar el límite superior del número aleatorio. Dado que se trata de un valor exclusivo, la llamada al método devuelve 0 o 1.

En lugar de crear una clase independiente para generar valores aleatorios Boolean , el ejemplo podría simplemente haber definido un único método. Sin embargo, en ese caso, el Random objeto debe haberse definido como una variable de nivel de clase para evitar crear instancias de una nueva Random instancia en cada llamada al método. En Visual Basic, la instancia aleatoria se puede definir como una variable estática en el NextBoolean método . En el ejemplo siguiente se proporciona una implementación.

Generar enteros aleatorios de 64 bits

Las sobrecargas del Next método devuelven enteros de 32 bits. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, es posible que quiera trabajar con enteros de 64 bits. Puede hacerlo de la siguiente manera:

  1. Llame al NextDouble método para recuperar un valor de punto flotante de precisión doble.

  2. Multiplique ese valor por Int64.MaxValue.

En el ejemplo siguiente se usa esta técnica para generar 20 millones de enteros largos aleatorios y clasificarlos en 10 grupos iguales. A continuación, evalúa la distribución de los números aleatorios contando el número de cada grupo de 0 a Int64.MaxValue. Como se muestra en la salida del ejemplo, los números se distribuyen más o menos por igual a través del intervalo de un entero largo.

using namespace System;

void main()
{
   const Int64 ONE_TENTH = 922337203685477581;

   Random^ rnd = gcnew Random();
   Int64 number;
   array<int>^ count = gcnew array<int>(10);
   
   // Generate 20 million long integers.
   for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 20000000; ctr++) {
      number = (Int64) (rnd->NextDouble() * Int64::MaxValue);
      // Categorize random numbers.
      count[(int) (number / ONE_TENTH)]++;
   }
   // Display breakdown by range.
   Console::WriteLine("{0,28} {1,32}   {2,7}\n", "Range", "Count", "Pct.");
   for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= 9; ctr++)
      Console::WriteLine("{0,25:N0}-{1,25:N0}  {2,8:N0}   {3,7:P2}", ctr * ONE_TENTH,

Una técnica alternativa que usa la manipulación de bits no genera números realmente aleatorios. Esta técnica llama Next() a para generar dos enteros, desplazamientos a la izquierda uno por 32 bits, y las entidades organizativas juntas. Esta técnica tiene dos limitaciones:

  1. Dado que el bit 31 es el bit de signo, el valor del bit 31 del entero largo resultante siempre es 0. Esto se puede solucionar generando un 0 o 1 aleatorio, desplazando a la izquierda 31 bits y ORing con el entero largo aleatorio original.

  2. Más en serio, dado que la probabilidad de que el valor devuelto por Next() sea 0, habrá pocos si hay números aleatorios en el intervalo 0x0-0x00000000FFFFFFFF.

Recuperar bytes en un intervalo especificado

Las sobrecargas del Next método permiten especificar el intervalo de números aleatorios, pero el NextBytes método no. En el ejemplo siguiente se implementa un NextBytes método que permite especificar el intervalo de los bytes devueltos. Define una Random2 clase que deriva de Random y sobrecarga su NextBytes método.

using namespace System;

ref class Random2 : Random
{
public:
   Random2()
   {}

   Random2(int seed) : Random(seed)
   {}

   void NextBytes(array<Byte>^ bytes, Byte minValue, Byte maxValue)
   {
      for (int ctr = bytes->GetLowerBound(0); ctr <= bytes->GetUpperBound(0); ctr++)
         bytes[ctr] = (Byte) Next(minValue, maxValue);
   }
};

void main()
{
    Random2^ rnd = gcnew Random2();
    array<Byte>^ bytes = gcnew array<Byte>(10000);
    array<int>^ total = gcnew array<int>(101);
    rnd->NextBytes(bytes, 0, 101);

    // Calculate how many of each value we have.
    for each (Byte value in bytes)
       total[value]++;

    // Display the results.
    for (int ctr = 0; ctr < total->Length; ctr++) {
        Console::Write("{0,3}: {1,-3}   ", ctr, total[ctr]);
        if ((ctr + 1) % 5 == 0) Console::WriteLine();
    }
}

El NextBytes(Byte[], Byte, Byte) método ajusta una llamada al Next(Int32, Int32) método y especifica el valor mínimo y uno mayor que el valor máximo (en este caso, 0 y 101) que queremos devolver en la matriz de bytes. Dado que estamos seguros de que los valores enteros devueltos por el Next método están dentro del intervalo del tipo de Byte datos, podemos convertirlos de forma segura (en C# y F#) o convertirlos (en Visual Basic) de enteros a bytes.

Recuperar un elemento de una matriz o colección de forma aleatoria

Los números aleatorios suelen servir como índices para recuperar valores de matrices o colecciones. Para recuperar un valor de índice aleatorio, puede llamar al Next(Int32, Int32) método y usar el límite inferior de la matriz como el valor de su minValue argumento y uno mayor que el límite superior de la matriz como el valor de su maxValue argumento. Para una matriz de base cero, esto equivale a su Length propiedad o a uno mayor que el valor devuelto por el Array.GetUpperBound método . En el ejemplo siguiente se recupera aleatoriamente el nombre de una ciudad en el Estados Unidos de una matriz de ciudades.

using namespace System;

void main()
{
   array<String^>^ cities = { "Atlanta", "Boston", "Chicago", "Detroit",
                              "Fort Wayne", "Greensboro", "Honolulu", "Indianapolis",

                              "Raleigh", "San Francisco", "Tulsa", "Washington" };
   Random^ rnd = gcnew Random();
   int index = rnd->Next(0, cities->Length);
   Console::WriteLine("Today's city of the day: {0}",
                      cities[index]);
}
// The example displays output like the following:

                    "Raleigh", "San Francisco", "Tulsa", "Washington" };

int index = rnd.Next(0, cities.Length);
Console.WriteLine("Today's city of the day: {0}",

Recuperar un elemento único de una matriz o colección

Un generador de números aleatorios siempre puede devolver valores duplicados. A medida que el intervalo de números se vuelve más pequeño o el número de valores generados aumenta, crece la probabilidad de duplicados. Si los valores aleatorios deben ser únicos, se generan más números para compensar los duplicados, lo que da lugar a un rendimiento cada vez más deficiente.

Hay varias técnicas para controlar este escenario. Una solución común es crear una matriz o colección que contenga los valores que se van a recuperar y una matriz paralela que contenga números de punto flotante aleatorios. La segunda matriz se rellena con números aleatorios en el momento en que se crea la primera matriz y el Array.Sort(Array, Array) método se usa para ordenar la primera matriz mediante los valores de la matriz paralela.

Por ejemplo, si estás desarrollando un juego solitario, quieres asegurarte de que cada carta se usa solo una vez. En lugar de generar números aleatorios para recuperar una tarjeta y realizar un seguimiento de si esa tarjeta ya se ha tratado, puede crear una matriz paralela de números aleatorios que se pueden usar para ordenar la baraja. Una vez ordenada la baraja, la aplicación puede mantener un puntero para indicar el índice de la siguiente tarjeta en la baraja.

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra este enfoque. Define una Card clase que representa una carta de reproducción y una Dealer clase que trata una baraja de cartas aleatorias. El Dealer constructor de clase rellena dos matrices: una deck matriz que tiene ámbito de clase y que representa todas las tarjetas de la baraja; y una matriz local order que tiene el mismo número de elementos que la deck matriz y se rellena con valores generados Double aleatoriamente. A Array.Sort(Array, Array) continuación, se llama al método para ordenar la deck matriz en función de los valores de la order matriz.

Notas a los desarrolladores de herederos

En .NET Framework 1.0 y 1.1, una implementación mínima de una clase derivada de Random la invalidación necesaria del Sample() método para definir un algoritmo nuevo o modificado para generar números aleatorios. Después, la clase derivada podría basarse en la implementación de clase base de los Next()métodos , Next(Int32), Next(Int32, Int32), NextBytes(Byte[]), y NextDouble() para llamar a la implementación de clase derivada del Sample() método .

En .NET Framework 2.0 y versiones posteriores, el comportamiento de los Next()métodos , Next(Int32, Int32)y NextBytes(Byte[]) ha cambiado para que estos métodos no llamen necesariamente a la implementación de clase derivada del Sample() método. Como resultado, las clases derivadas de Random ese destino de .NET Framework 2.0 y versiones posteriores también deben invalidar estos tres métodos.

Notas a los autores de las llamadas

No se garantiza que la implementación del generador de números aleatorios de la Random clase siga siendo la misma en las versiones principales de .NET Framework. Como resultado, no debe suponer que la misma inicialización dará como resultado la misma secuencia pseudoalealeatoriedad en distintas versiones de .NET Framework.
