Golang : Generate random integer or float number
Was helping out a friend last Sunday to finish up his Golang project and encounter a problem where we need to generate random integer or float number. Below is a snippet of the code that we used to generate the random numbers. Hope this can be useful to your work/project as well.
package main
import (
"math/rand"
"fmt"
)
func randSeed() (p []byte) {
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
p = append(p, byte(rand.Intn(512)))
}
return
}
func main() {
b := randSeed()
fmt.Println(b)
}
In case you are looking for random float number. This should do the trick :
fmt.Println(rand.Float64()) // rand.Float64 returns a float64 value f ... between 0.0 <= f < 1.0.
and if 0.0 to 1.0 is not what you wanted. You can tweak it to become in between 5.0 <= f < 10.0 with is this line
fmt.Print((rand.Float64() * 5) + 5)
