The first option – rand.Next(2)
executes behind the scenes the following code:
if (maxValue < 0) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("maxValue", Environment.GetResourceString("ArgumentOutOfRange_MustBePositive", new object[] { "maxValue" })); } return (int) (this.Sample() * maxValue);
and for the second option – rand.NextDouble()
:
return this.Sample();
Since the first option contains maxValue
validation, multiplication and casting, the second option is probably faster.
