Random

hi,

how do I get the generated int random seed from this code?

Code:

ranNum = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks);

I tired something like this but it returns "Sytem.Random" instead of number

Code:

Console.WriteLine(ranNum.ToString());

Try:

Code:

            long Seed = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
            Random R = new Random((int) Seed);
            int Ri = R.Next();

Ri can then be printed out.
