Doesn't look like Random.Next() has the option to generate decimals apart from integers

Any answer is appreciated 😉

Your method works perfectly fine 👍

Answer 2

Why not generate integers and then divide them? Can you specify what sort of numbers you want?

edit:
what did you try to google? "cs random decimals" got me this:

Answer 3

Martin Taylor, thanks for the formatting too 😉, didn't know you could do :F after a number

Answer 4

This thread is about generating random numbers in C#, not about Lua or playground or web. So what does ChillPill's Lua demo do here?

Answer 5

Just out of curiosity: What do you need the random decimals for? (And actual decimals or just some floating point number type?)

Answer 6

Lisa

Any decimal that's not an integer, couldn't come up with a better term so my apologies for making it confusing.

Answer 7

Thank you, Martin Taylor

Answer 8

How is the lua code related to the question of this thread? Please don't post non-related codes.

Answer 9

Thanks, just trying to find something new, the method Lisa came up with is very clever and the link she provided is mind boggling 👍

Lisa

And I needed them to display the possibility of chosen items, the output should look like this:

first - 42.5%
second - 57.5%
... maybe even more depending on the amount

Not sure how to implement it properly though
