[Android.Runtime.Register("nextFloat", "()F", "GetNextFloatHandler")]
public virtual float NextFloat ();

[<Android.Runtime.Register("nextFloat", "()F", "GetNextFloatHandler")>]
abstract member NextFloat : unit -> single
override this.NextFloat : unit -> single

Returns

Single

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence

Implements

NextFloat()

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

The general contract of nextFloat is that one float value, chosen (approximately) uniformly from the range 0.0f (inclusive) to 1.0f (exclusive), is pseudorandomly generated and returned. All 224 possible float values of the form m x 2-24, where m is a positive integer less than 224, are produced with (approximately) equal probability.
