How to generate the random number of integer types in Golang?

Problem Solution:

Here, we will generate the random number of integer types using the rand.Int() function and print the result on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to generate the random number of integer types is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

Golang code to generate the random number of integer types

// Golang program to generate the
// random number of integer types

package main

import "math/rand"
import "fmt"

// Entry point for the program
func main() {
	random1 := rand.Int()
	fmt.Println("Random Number: ", random1)

	random2 := rand.Int()
	fmt.Println("Random Number: ", random2)

	random3 := rand.Int()
	fmt.Println("Random Number: ", random3)
}

Output:

Random Number:  5577006791947779410
Random Number:  8674665223082153551
Random Number:  6129484611666145821

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the required packages to predefined functions.

In the main() function, we generated a random rand.Int() function three times and printed the result on the console screen.
