Default

object Default : Random, Serializable(source)

The default random number generator.

On JVM this generator is thread-safe, its methods can be invoked from multiple threads.

Samples



import kotlin.math.sin


import kotlin.random.Random


import kotlin.test.assertTrue
fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val randomValues = List(10) { Random.nextInt(0, 100) }
// prints new sequence every time
println(randomValues)

val nextValues = List(10) { Random.nextInt(0, 100) }
println(nextValues)
println("randomValues != nextValues is ${randomValues != nextValues}") // true 
   //sampleEnd
}
