[Pharo-users] Some random musings

Hi Pharoers, some random musings about Random numbers :-) In the context of the CORMAS project: http://cormas.cirad.fr/indexeng.htm I would like to propose an API for manipulating random numbers to users who are not developers but modelers of complex systems. In CORMAS, people need to generate a

Re: [Pharo-users] Some random musings

I think Float randomFrom: -4.1 to: 2.5 or Float randomBetween: -4.1 and: 2.5 would be the most descriptive and compliant to your signature ;-) An interval does not necessarily contain Floats. Going to the class side of Float makes sense because you create a new instance. > On 16 Apr 201

Re: [Pharo-users] Some random musings

Hello, Then this should be added to Integer class as well no? So the API is uniform. Because, if I am not wrong, for now if you want to generate an integer that could be negative you have to use an Interval (-10 to: 10) atRandom Since 10 atRandom In fact generates a Natural number and not a

Re: [Pharo-users] Some random musings

Sven, Serge, Especially in the case of Floats, I think between:and: is *not* a good name. As always, the question is if between:and: is exclusive or inclusive of the border values... So I think the better name is from:to:. I think this name indicates it includes the border values. Joachim
