X → Random Conversions

This topic provides a reference table for all automatic type conversions to random, sorted by merit.

Direct Conversions

This section lists all direct Direct conversions to the random type. A 'Direct' conversion indicates a relation between very related types, such as integers and numbers, or 2D and 3D points. Though note that even these conversions can fail due to out-of-bounds issues, or be narrowing due to reduction.

From Explanation
integer Creates a random number generator seeded with the integer.
integer (big) Creates a random number generator seeded with the integer.

Fair Conversions

This section lists all fair Fair conversions to the random type. A 'Fair' conversion indicates the types involved are closesly related in a data layout sense, though not necessarily in a conceptual sense. For example booleans and integers, or points and vectors. Although these conversions may fail or narrow, it is nevertheless considered decent practice to rely upon them in algorithms.

From Explanation
number Creates a random number generator seeded with the integer.
