ThreadLocalRandom
open class ThreadLocalRandom : Random
| kotlin.Any | ||
| ↳ | java.util.Random | |
| ↳ | java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom | |
A random number generator (with period 264) isolated to the current thread. Like the global java.util.Random generator used by the java.lang.Math class, a ThreadLocalRandom is initialized with an internally generated seed that may not otherwise be modified. When applicable, use of ThreadLocalRandom rather than shared Random objects in concurrent programs will typically encounter much less overhead and contention. Use of ThreadLocalRandom is particularly appropriate when multiple tasks (for example, each a ForkJoinTask) use random numbers in parallel in thread pools.
Usages of this class should typically be of the form: ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextX(...) (where X is Int, Long, etc). When all usages are of this form, it is never possible to accidentally share a ThreadLocalRandom across multiple threads.
This class also provides additional commonly used bounded random generation methods.
Instances of ThreadLocalRandom are not cryptographically secure. Consider instead using java.security.SecureRandom in security-sensitive applications. Additionally, default-constructed instances do not use a cryptographically random seed unless the java.lang.System#getProperty java.util.secureRandomSeed is set to true.
