Class Random

Namespace

Antithesis.SDK

Assembly

Antithesis.SDK.dll

The Random class sources entropy directly from the Antithesis platform when executing within Antithesis, and from System.Random otherwise. For a System.Random-compatible adapter, see AntithesisRandom.

Methods

GetRandom()

Returns a raw 64-bit value chosen by Antithesis. You should use this value immediately, rather than storing it for later: if the simulation branches after the value is received, every branch sees the same value, which defeats the purpose of branching. For the same reason, do not use it to seed a pseudo-random number generator.

public static ulong GetRandom()

Returns

ulong

RandomChoice<T>(IReadOnlyList<T>)

Returns a randomly chosen item from a list of options. You should use this value immediately rather than storing it, for the reasons described on GetRandom().

This method is not purely for convenience: signaling to the Antithesis platform that you intend to use a random value in a structured way enables it to provide more interesting choices over time.

public static T RandomChoice<T>(IReadOnlyList<T> items)

Parameters

items IReadOnlyList<T>

Returns

T

Type Parameters

T
