Number Generation

When number or integer is adopted as type, ranjg.gen returns a numerical value.

>>> import ranjg
>>> schema = { 'type': 'number' }
>>> generated = ranjg.gen(schema)  # -> returns a float number
>>> type(generated)
<class 'float'>

>>> import ranjg
>>> schema = { 'type': 'integer' }
>>> generated = ranjg.gen(schema)  # -> returns an integer
>>> type(generated)
<class 'int'>

note: If type is 'number', the type of the result is always float, but it can also be an integer, as in 1.0.
note: If you want to randomly determine whether the type is int or float, you can use 'type':['integer','number'] to do so. (see Multiple Type Specification)

Range

Ranges of numbers are specified using a combination of the minimum and maximum keywords, (or exclusiveMinimum and exclusiveMaximum for expressing exclusive range).

Generated value x satisfies the following:

x ≧ minimum
x ≦ maximum
x ＞ exclusiveMinimum
x ＜ exclusiveMaximum

warning: For now, if exclusiveMinimum is set to true, the number x generated will satisfy x ＜ minimum, but this will be deprecated in the future. Similarly for exclusiveMaximum.

For example:

>>> import ranjg
>>> schema = {
>>>     'type': 'number',
>>>     'minimum': 0,
>>> }
>>> generated = ranjg.gen(schema)
>>> 0 <= generated
True

>>> import ranjg
>>> schema = {
>>>     'type': 'integer',
>>>     'exclusiveMinimum': 74,
>>>     'maximum': 77,
>>> }
>>> generated = ranjg.gen(schema)
>>> generated in (75, 76, 77)
True
