2.2.2 NetRandom

Parent: 2.2 RandomLib: random sources · Guide map

NetRandom wraps System.Random. It accepts an optional numeric seed or an ISeedR. Its NextLong uses random bytes to sample the requested range.

using RandEXom.RandomLib;

var random = new NetRandom(seed: 42);
int index = random.NextInt(0, 5);

NetRandom converts its seed to a 32-bit value for System.Random; different 64-bit seeds can therefore map to the same internal seed. For reproducibility, also keep the same target runtime: System.Random is a .NET implementation detail, not a cross-runtime sequence contract.

See the Microsoft System.Random documentation for platform behavior. This wrapper should not be described as implementing a Numerical Recipes generator.
