# Java 8: An Endless Stream Of Random Numbers

The method Math#random 
is a Supplier<double>
and can be used to generate an endless Stream or random numbers:



import java.util.stream.Stream;
import org.junit.Test;

public class RandomNumbersTest {

    @Test
    public void streamNumbers() {
        randomStream(10).
                limit(10).
                forEach(System.out::println);
    }


    public Stream<Long> randomStream(int range) {
        return Stream.generate(Math::random).
                map(n -> n * range).
                map(Math::round);
    }
}




The unit test above generates:



5
4
2
9
8
9
9
0
9
8



(...hopefully a different sequence on your machine :-))
