c# create random number code example

Example 1: c# random int

Random rnd = new Random();
int number  = rnd.Next(1, 10);

Example 2: c# random number

int random_number = new Random().Next(1, 10) // Generates a number between 1 to 10

Example 3: get random number c#

Random rnd = new Random();
int month  = rnd.Next(1, 13);  // creates a number between 1 and 12
int dice   = rnd.Next(1, 7);   // creates a number between 1 and 6
int card   = rnd.Next(52);     // creates a number between 0 and 51

Example 4: c# random
