randoom

An easy-to-use CLI tool for generating random numbers, texts, and colors.

Features

• generate random numbers
  • generate floating point numbers
    • with single precision: $ randoom -t f32 -n <number> or $ randoom -t float / real -n <number>
    • with double precision: $ randoom -t f64 -n <number> or $ randoom -t double -n <number
  • generate integers
    • $ randoom -t <i32 / int / integer / i64 / isize> -n <number
    • sample input: -52
  • generate unsinged integers
    • $ randoom -t <u32 / u64 / usize> -n <number>
    • sample input: 23
• generate random colors
  • generate RGB colors
    • $ randoom -t rgb -n <number> or $ randoom -t color -n <number>
    • sample output: #ff2353

Manual

• Type $ randoom -t <datatype> -n <number>, where currently can be f32, f64, i32, i64, isize, u32, u64, usize, or rgb
• Type $ randoom --help for optional parameters or generic help.
