Anyone know how can I generate random float numbers within specific ranges  of (e.g 1.7 to 3.5) in cplex java ?

I can see that there is a class rand(), but it only takes integers and also it is not possible to define the minimum and maximum range for that

Thank you

Hi,

let me show you how to turn rand into what you need:

// 1.7 to 3.5

float m=1.7;
float M=3.5;

int scale=1000000;

float randomFloat=m+1/scale*(rand(scale+1))*(M-m);
float randomFloats[i in 1..100]=m+1/scale*(rand(scale+1))*(M-m);

execute
{
writeln("randomFloat = ",randomFloat);
randomFloats;
}

assert forall(i in 1..100) as1:m<=randomFloats[i];
assert forall(i in 1..100) as2:randomFloats[i]<=M;

regards
