Golang : Random integer with rand.Seed() within a given range
Need to generate a random single integer within a given number range. For example, get one random integer from 1 to 10.
The Golang code to do this :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"math/rand"
"time"
)
func numRand(min, max int) int {
rand.Seed(time.Now().UTC().UnixNano())
return rand.Intn(max-min) + min
}
func main() {
num := numRand(1, 10)
fmt.Println("Number is : ", num)
}
NOTE : Executing this code in play.golang.org WILL NOT work.
Sample output :
Number is : 9
Number is : 4
Number is : 5
Number is : 1
