Generate a random double in a range

Question

I have two doubles like the following  double min   100  double max   101    and with a random generator  I need to create a double value between the range of min and max   Random r   new Random    r nextDouble      but there is nothing here where we can specify the range

This question was asked before Java 7 release but now, there is another possible way using Java 7 (and above) API:

double random = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble(min, max);

nextDouble will return a pseudorandom double value between the minimum (inclusive) and the maximum (exclusive). The bounds are not necessarily int, and can be double.

To generate a random value between rangeMin and rangeMax   Random r   new Random    double randomValue   rangeMin    rangeMax - rangeMin    r nextDouble

The main idea of random is that it returns a pseudorandom value  There is no such thing as fully random functions  hence  2 Random instances using the same seed will return the same value in certain conditions   It is a good practice to first view the function doc in order to understand it   https   docs oracle com javase 8 docs api java util Random html   Now that we understand that the returned value of the function nextDouble   is a pseudorandom value between 0 0 and 1 0 we can use it to our advantage   For creating a random number between A and B givin  that the boundaries are valid  A B  we need to  1  find the range between A and B so we can know how to many  steps  we have  2  use the random function to determine how many steps to take  because the returned value is between 0 0 and 1 0 you can think of it as  pick a random percentage of increase  3  add the offset  After all of that  you can see that mob gave you the easiest and most common way to do so in my opinion  double randomValue   rangeMin    rangeMax - rangeMin    r nextDouble     double RandomValue   Offset    Range   randomVal between 0 0-1 0

Use this   double start   400  double end   402  double random   new Random   nextDouble    double result   start    random    end - start    System out println result       EDIT   new Random   nextDouble    randomly generates a number between 0 and 1   start  start number  to shift number  to the right   end - start  interval  Random gives you from 0  to 100  of this number  because random gives you a number from 0 to 1     EDIT 2  Tks  daniel and  aaa bbb  My first answer was wrong
