Java Math random() method with Examples

The java.lang.Math.random() method returns a pseudorandom double type number greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0. . When this method is first called, it creates a single new pseudorandom-number generator,
exactly as if by the expression new java.util.Random.

Syntax :

public static double random()

Return :
This method returns a pseudorandom double greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0.

Example 1 :To show working of java.lang.Math.random() method.

// Java program to demonstrate working 
// of java.lang.Math.random() method 
import java.lang.Math; 
  
class Gfg1 { 
  
    // driver code 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        // Generate random number 
        double rand = Math.random(); 
  
        // Output is different everytime this code is executed 
        System.out.println("Random Number:" + rand); 
    } 
} 

Output:

0.5568515217910215

Example 2 :To show working of java.lang.Math.random() method.

// Java program to demonstrate working 
// of java.lang.Math.random() method 
import java.lang.Math; 
  
class Gfg2 { 
  
    // driver code 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        // define the range 
        int max = 10; 
        int min = 1; 
        int range = max - min + 1; 
  
        // generate random numbers within 1 to 10 
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { 
            int rand = (int)(Math.random() * range) + min; 
  
            // Output is different everytime this code is executed 
            System.out.println(rand); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:
