Random Hexadecimal Numbers using .NET

Tweet

In this example, we will see how to generate random hexadecimal numbers using .NET. We will be using the Random class to do so.

Here’s how to generate 10 random hexadecimal numbers

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Random random = new Random();
    int i = 0;
    while (i < 10)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(random.Next().ToString("X"));
        i++;
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}

In the example shown above, the "X" format specifier in the ToString() statement converts an integer to the string representation of a hexadecimal value.
