How can I get a random number in Kotlin?

Question

A generic method that can return a random integer between 2 parameters like ruby does with rand(0..n).

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Another way of implementing s1m0nw1's answer would be to access it through a variable. Not that its any more efficient but it saves you from having to type ().

val ClosedRange.random: Int
    get() = Random().nextInt((endInclusive + 1) - start) +  start 

And now it can be accessed as such

(1..10).random
