Do you know that from .NET 6 you don’t need to create Random class to be able to get pseudo-random values? There’s a static, thread-safe instance that can be used to obtain those values. But the novelty doesn’t end here. From .NET 8 we do have new methods available too.
We have the following two new methods under our belt:
📌 Random.Shared.Shuffle - allows reorganizing collection of items. Useful if we need to get elements in a random order.
📌 Random.Shared.GetItems - useful when picking k-elements for the collection. There’s a caveat to that, though. Note, that it does not guarantee there won’t be duplicates. Keep that in mind when using this method.
