The **`Random` class** in C# provides defined methods that generate random integers. The most widely used method to generate random integers from the `Random` class is `Next()`.

The `Random.Next()` method has three overloaded forms:
* **`Next()`**: Returns a random `int` value within the range
$-2,147,483,648 < = value < = 2,147,483, 647$

```
int num = random.Next(); 
```

* **`Next(int max)`**: Returns a random `int` value less than `max`

```
// Returns a random integer less than 50
int num = random.Next(50); 
```

* **`Next(int min, int max)`**: Returns an `int` in the range 
$min < = value <  max$

```
// Returns an `int` value greater in the range 10 <= value < 50
int num = random.Next(10,50)

# Code

The code snippet below illustrates the usage of the three methods discussed above:

class RandomGenerator
{
    static void Main()
    {
      System.Random random = new System.Random(); 
      System.Console.WriteLine(random.Next());
      System.Console.WriteLine(random.Next(50));
      System.Console.WriteLine(random.Next(10,50));
    }
}

How to generate a random integer in C#

The Random class in C# provides defined methods that generate random integers. The most widely used method to generate random integers from the Random class is Next(). The Random.Next() method has three overloaded forms:  Next(): Returns a random int value within the range −2,147,483,648=value=2,147,483,647-2,147,483,648 −2,147,483,648value2,147,483,647  int num = random.Next();    Next(int max): Returns a random int value less than max  // Returns a random integer less than 50 int num = random.Next(50);    Next(int min, int max): Returns an int in the range min=valuemaxmin minvaluemax  // Returns an `int` value greater in the range 10
