rust random range

Comment

// for a small amount of random number gen_range is nice but if you need
// to generate a lot of numbers in the same range you should use
// a Uniform distribution instead such as follow
use rand::distributions::{Distribution, Uniform};

let between = Uniform::from(10..10000);
let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
let mut sum = 0;
for _ in 0..1000 {
    sum += between.sample(&mut rng);
}
println!("{}", sum);

gen_range is optimised for the case that only a single sample is made from the given range, it's better to use the Uniform distribution if you need to generate repeatedly
