Random.NextDouble Method

Definition

Returns a random floating-point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0.

public:
 virtual double NextDouble();
public virtual double NextDouble ();
abstract member NextDouble : unit -> double
override this.NextDouble : unit -> double
Public Overridable Function NextDouble () As Double

Returns

A double-precision floating point number that is greater than or equal to 0.0, and less than 1.0.

Examples

The following example uses the NextDouble method to generate sequences of random doubles.

// method.

   for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++)
      Console::Write(" {0,10} ", randObj->Next());
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Generate the first six random doubles.
   for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++)
      Console::Write(" {0:F8} ", randObj->NextDouble());
   Console::WriteLine();
}


// Create a Random object with the specified seed.

{
   Console::WriteLine("\nRandom numbers from a Random object with seed = {0}:", seed);
   Random^ fixRand = gcnew Random(seed);

The following example calls the NextDouble method to generate 100 random numbers and displays their frequency distribution.

int[] frequency = new int[10];
double number;
Random rnd = new Random();

for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= 99; ctr++) {
   number = rnd.NextDouble();
   frequency[(int) Math.Floor(number*10)] ++;
}
Console.WriteLine("Distribution of Random Numbers:");
for (int ctr = frequency.GetLowerBound(0); ctr <= frequency.GetUpperBound(0); ctr++)
   Console.WriteLine("0.{0}0-0.{0}9       {1}", ctr, frequency[ctr]);
