CustomRandomRange

A lightweight utility for generating pseudo-random numbers across multiple numeric types using DateTime.Ticks and Guid.

📦 Features

Generate random values for:
- int
- long
- float
- double
Range-based random generation (min, max)
Simple static API (no instantiation required)

⚙️ Implementation Overview

The library uses:

Guid.NewGuid().GetHashCode() for standalone integer randomness
DateTime.Now.Ticks modulo range for bounded randomness

🚀 Usage

1. Generate random integer (no range)

int value = CustomRandom.Generate();

2. Generate random integer within range

int value = CustomRandom.Generate(10, 100);

3. Generate random long

long value = CustomRandom.Generate(1000L, 10000L);

4. Generate random float

float value = CustomRandom.Generate(1.5f, 5.5f);

5. Generate random double

double value = CustomRandom.Generate(1.0, 10.0);

⚠️ Limitations

1. Not cryptographically secure

Do not use for:
- Security tokens
- Password generation
- Cryptographic purposes

2. Poor randomness quality

DateTime.Now.Ticks has limited precision
Multiple rapid calls may produce identical values

3. Range bias issue

Using modulo (%) introduces non-uniform distribution

4. Float/Double precision loss

(long)(max - min)

Truncates decimal precision → inaccurate results

🛠️ Future scope

Replace DateTime.Ticks with Random
Avoid modulo bias
Use proper floating-point scaling:

return min + (rand.NextDouble() * (max - min));

📌 Summary

This utility is:

✔ Simple
✔ Lightweight

Best used for:

Testing
Prototyping
Non-critical randomization
