Class Random

java.lang.Object
java.util.Random
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, RandomGenerator
Direct Known Subclasses:
SecureRandom, ThreadLocalRandom

public class Random extends Object implements RandomGenerator, Serializable
An instance of this class is used to generate a stream of pseudorandom numbers; its period is only 248. The class uses a 48-bit seed, which is modified using a linear congruential formula. (See Donald E. Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2, Third edition: Seminumerical Algorithms, Section 3.2.1.)

If two instances of Random are created with the same seed, and the same sequence of method calls is made for each, they will generate and return identical sequences of numbers. In order to guarantee this property, particular algorithms are specified for the class Random. Java implementations must use all the algorithms shown here for the class Random, for the sake of absolute portability of Java code. However, subclasses of class Random are permitted to use other algorithms, so long as they adhere to the general contracts for all the methods.

The algorithms implemented by class Random use a protected utility method that on each invocation can supply up to 32 pseudorandomly generated bits.

Many applications will find the method Math.random() simpler to use.

Instances of java.util.Random are threadsafe. However, the concurrent use of the same java.util.Random instance across threads may encounter contention and consequent poor performance. Consider instead using ThreadLocalRandom in multithreaded designs.

Instances of java.util.Random are not cryptographically secure. Consider instead using SecureRandom to get a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator for use by security-sensitive applications.

    • Random

      public Random()
      Creates a new random number generator. This constructor sets the seed of the random number generator to a value very likely to be distinct from any other invocation of this constructor.
    • Random

      public Random(long seed)
      Creates a new random number generator using a single long seed. The seed is the initial value of the internal state of the pseudorandom number generator which is maintained by method next(int).
      Implementation Requirements:
      The invocation new Random(seed) is equivalent to:
      
       Random rnd = new Random();
       rnd.setSeed(seed);
       
      Parameters:

    • from

      public static Random from(RandomGenerator generator)
      Returns an instance of Random that delegates method calls to the RandomGenerator argument. If the generator is an instance of Random, it is returned. Otherwise, this method returns an instance of Random that delegates all methods except setSeed to the generator. The returned instance's setSeed method always throws UnsupportedOperationException. The returned instance is not serializable.
      Parameters:
      generator - the RandomGenerator calls are delegated to
      Returns:
      the delegating Random instance
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if generator is null

    • setSeed

      public void setSeed(long seed)
      Sets or updates the seed of this random number generator using the provided long seed value (optional operation).
      Implementation Requirements:
      The implementation in this class alters the state of this random number generator so that it is in the same state as if it had just been created with new Random(seed). It atomically updates the seed to
      (seed ^ 0x5DEECE66DL) & ((1L << 48) - 1)
      and clears the haveNextNextGaussian flag used by nextGaussian(). Note that this uses only 48 bits of the given seed value.
      Parameters:
      seed - the seed value
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the setSeed operation is not supported by this random number generator
    • next

      protected int next(int bits)
      Generates the next pseudorandom number. This method returns an int value such that, if the argument bits is between 1 and 32 (inclusive), then that many low-order bits of the returned value will be (approximately) independently chosen bit values, each of which is (approximately) equally likely to be 0 or 1.
      API Note:
      The other random-producing methods in this class are implemented in terms of this method, so subclasses can override just this method to provide a different source of pseudorandom numbers for the entire class.
      Implementation Requirements:
      The implementation in this class atomically updates the seed to
      (seed * 0x5DEECE66DL + 0xBL) & ((1L << 48) - 1)
      and returns
      (int)(seed >>> (48 - bits)).

      This is a linear congruential pseudorandom number generator, as defined by D. H. Lehmer and described by Donald E. Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2, Third edition: Seminumerical Algorithms, section 3.2.1.

      Generates random bytes and places them into a user-supplied byte array. The number of random bytes produced is equal to the length of the byte array.
      Specified by:
      nextBytes in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextBytes is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public void nextBytes(byte[] bytes) {
         for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; )
           for (int rnd = nextInt(), n = Math.min(bytes.length - i, 4);
                n-- > 0; rnd >>= 8)
             bytes[i++] = (byte)rnd;
       }

    • nextInt

      public int nextInt()
      Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value from this random number generator's sequence. The general contract of nextInt is that one int value is pseudorandomly generated and returned. All 232 possible int values are produced with (approximately) equal probability.
      Specified by:
      nextInt in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextInt is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public int nextInt() {
         return next(32);
       }
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value from this random number generator's sequence
    • nextInt

      public int nextInt(int bound)
      Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive), drawn from this random number generator's sequence. The general contract of nextInt is that one int value in the specified range is pseudorandomly generated and returned. All bound possible int values are produced with (approximately) equal probability.
      Specified by:
      nextInt in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextInt(int bound) is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public int nextInt(int bound) {
         if (bound <= 0)
           throw new IllegalArgumentException("bound must be positive");
      
         if ((bound & -bound) == bound)  // i.e., bound is a power of 2
           return (int)((bound * (long)next(31)) >> 31);
      
         int bits, val;
         do {
             bits = next(31);
             val = bits % bound;
         } while (bits - val + (bound-1) < 0);
         return val;
       }

      The hedge "approximately" is used in the foregoing description only because the next method is only approximately an unbiased source of independently chosen bits. If it were a perfect source of randomly chosen bits, then the algorithm shown would choose int values from the stated range with perfect uniformity.

      The algorithm is slightly tricky. It rejects values that would result in an uneven distribution (due to the fact that 2^31 is not divisible by n). The probability of a value being rejected depends on n. The worst case is n=2^30+1, for which the probability of a reject is 1/2, and the expected number of iterations before the loop terminates is 2.

      The algorithm treats the case where n is a power of two specially: it returns the correct number of high-order bits from the underlying pseudo-random number generator. In the absence of special treatment, the correct number of low-order bits would be returned. Linear congruential pseudo-random number generators such as the one implemented by this class are known to have short periods in the sequence of values of their low-order bits. Thus, this special case greatly increases the length of the sequence of values returned by successive calls to this method if n is a small power of two.

      Parameters:
      bound - the upper bound (exclusive). Must be positive.
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between zero (inclusive) and bound (exclusive) from this random number generator's sequence
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if bound is not positive
      Since:
      1.2
    • nextLong

      public long nextLong()
      Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed long value from this random number generator's sequence. The general contract of nextLong is that one long value is pseudorandomly generated and returned.
      Specified by:
      nextLong in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextLong is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public long nextLong() {
         return ((long)next(32) << 32) + next(32);
       }
      Because class Random uses a seed with only 48 bits, this algorithm will not return all possible long values.
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed long value from this random number generator's sequence
    • nextBoolean

      public boolean nextBoolean()
      Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence. The general contract of nextBoolean is that one boolean value is pseudorandomly generated and returned. The values true and false are produced with (approximately) equal probability.
      Specified by:
      nextBoolean in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextBoolean is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public boolean nextBoolean() {
         return next(1) != 0;
       }
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence
      Since:
      1.2
    • nextFloat

      public float nextFloat()
      Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

      The general contract of nextFloat is that one float value, chosen (approximately) uniformly from the range 0.0f (inclusive) to 1.0f (exclusive), is pseudorandomly generated and returned. All 224 possible float values of the form m x 2-24, where m is a positive integer less than 224, are produced with (approximately) equal probability.

      Specified by:
      nextFloat in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextFloat is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public float nextFloat() {
         return next(24) / ((float)(1 << 24));
       }

      The hedge "approximately" is used in the foregoing description only because the next method is only approximately an unbiased source of independently chosen bits. If it were a perfect source of randomly chosen bits, then the algorithm shown would choose float values from the stated range with perfect uniformity.

      [In early versions of Java, the result was incorrectly calculated as:

       return next(30) / ((float)(1 << 30));
      This might seem to be equivalent, if not better, but in fact it introduced a slight nonuniformity because of the bias in the rounding of floating-point numbers: it was slightly more likely that the low-order bit of the significand would be 0 than that it would be 1.]
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0f and 1.0f from this random number generator's sequence
    • nextDouble

      public double nextDouble()
      Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

      The general contract of nextDouble is that one double value, chosen (approximately) uniformly from the range 0.0d (inclusive) to 1.0d (exclusive), is pseudorandomly generated and returned.

      Specified by:
      nextDouble in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextDouble is implemented by class Random as if by:
      
       public double nextDouble() {
         return (((long)next(26) << 27) + next(27))
           / (double)(1L << 53);
       }

      The hedge "approximately" is used in the foregoing description only because the next method is only approximately an unbiased source of independently chosen bits. If it were a perfect source of randomly chosen bits, then the algorithm shown would choose double values from the stated range with perfect uniformity.

      [In early versions of Java, the result was incorrectly calculated as:

       return (((long)next(27) << 27) + next(27)) / (double)(1L << 54);
      This might seem to be equivalent, if not better, but in fact it introduced a large nonuniformity because of the bias in the rounding of floating-point numbers: it was three times as likely that the low-order bit of the significand would be 0 than that it would be 1! This nonuniformity probably doesn't matter much in practice, but we strive for perfection.]
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence

    • nextGaussian

      public double nextGaussian()
      Returns the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

      The general contract of nextGaussian is that one double value, chosen from (approximately) the usual normal distribution with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0, is pseudorandomly generated and returned.

      Specified by:
      nextGaussian in interface RandomGenerator
      Implementation Requirements:
      The method nextGaussian is implemented by class Random as if by a threadsafe version of the following:
      
       private double nextNextGaussian;
       private boolean haveNextNextGaussian = false;
      
       public double nextGaussian() {
         if (haveNextNextGaussian) {
           haveNextNextGaussian = false;
           return nextNextGaussian;
         } else {
           double v1, v2, s;
           do {
             v1 = 2 * nextDouble() - 1;   // between -1.0 and 1.0
             v2 = 2 * nextDouble() - 1;   // between -1.0 and 1.0
             s = v1 * v1 + v2 * v2;
           } while (s >= 1 || s == 0);
           double multiplier = StrictMath.sqrt(-2 * StrictMath.log(s)/s);
           nextNextGaussian = v2 * multiplier;
           haveNextNextGaussian = true;
           return v1 * multiplier;
         }
       }
      This uses the polar method of G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia, as described by Donald E. Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2, third edition: Seminumerical Algorithms, section 3.4.1, subsection C, algorithm P. Note that it generates two independent values at the cost of only one call to StrictMath.log and one call to StrictMath.sqrt.
      Returns:
      the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence

    • longs

      public LongStream longs(long randomNumberOrigin, long randomNumberBound)
      Returns an effectively unlimited stream of pseudorandom long values, each conforming to the given origin (inclusive) and bound (exclusive).

      A pseudorandom long value is generated as if it's the result of calling the following method with the origin and bound:

       
       long nextLong(long origin, long bound) {
         long r = nextLong();
         long n = bound - origin, m = n - 1;
         if ((n & m) == 0L)  // power of two
           r = (r & m) + origin;
         else if (n > 0L) {  // reject over-represented candidates
           for (long u = r >>> 1;            // ensure nonnegative
                u + m - (r = u % n) < 0L;    // rejection check
                u = nextLong() >>> 1) // retry
               ;
           r += origin;
         }
         else {              // range not representable as long
           while (r < origin || r >= bound)
             r = nextLong();
         }
         return r;
       }

      Implementation Note:
      This method is implemented to be equivalent to longs(Long.MAX_VALUE, randomNumberOrigin, randomNumberBound).
      Parameters:
      randomNumberOrigin - the origin (inclusive) of each random value
      randomNumberBound - the bound (exclusive) of each random value
      Returns:
      a stream of pseudorandom long values, each with the given origin (inclusive) and bound (exclusive)
