Summary

How can I generate my own random number sets?

We have an online tool that will allow you to create up to 10000 random numbers at a time of various data types including:

  • Boolean
  • Int16
  • Int32 (Integer)
  • Int64
  • Float (single precision)
  • Double (double precision)
  • DateTime
  • Time Span

Download the solution at the top of this article for all the code.

For more on how the random numbers are generated have a look at my RandomProvider class.

Copy and Paste Cleanly

Note that with my online random number generator the random numbers are provided within <pre></pre> tags so you can easily copy and paste them into your favorite text editor or Excel without a bunch of html markup in the way.

Gaussian (Normal) and Exponential Distributions Also Available

The RandomProvider class in the download also provides gaussian and exponentially distributed random numbers. One of these days I'll get around to adding it to the demo.
