# `easyrand`

[![Build Status][build_img]][build_link] [![Crates.io version][crate_img]][crate_link] [![Documentation][doc_img]][doc_link]

Simple to use random number library for the Rust language.

The library wraps the [`rand`][rand] crate, exposing a smaller API somewhat inspired by the Python [`random`][random] module. Similar in concept to [`reqwest`][reqwest] being a wrapper for the more complex [`hyper`][hyper].

# Usage

Add to `Cargo.toml`:

[dependencies]
easyrand="0.4"

Then to use:

extern crate easyrand;

// Generate a random f64 between 0 and 1
let r = easyrand::random();

// Or for a given range
let r = easyrand::randrange(0.0, 10.0);

// Generate a random integer
let r = easyrand::randint(0, 99);

// Shuffle a vector
let mut inputs = vec!["a", "b", "c", "d"];
easyrand::shuffle(&mut inputs);

# Project scope

This library is intended to be a small subset of the `rand` library, exposing only the simplest possible useful subset of the library. If you need anything more specific, use the underlying `rand` library.
