Parameters

random  Random

The Random instance to use.

minValue  Half

The lower bound of the random number returned.

maxValue  Half

The upper bound of the random number returned. Must be greater or equal to minValue.

scale  FloatScale  (Optional)

The scale to use to generate the random number. This parameter is optional.
Default value: Auto.

Return Value

Usage Note

In most cases return value is less than maxValue. Return value can be equal to maxValue in very edge cases such as when minValue is equal to maxValue or when integer parts of both limits are beyond the precision of the Half type.

If scale is Auto, then the ForceLinear option is used.

Generating random numbers by this method on the logarithmic scale is about 3 times slower than on the linear scale.
