Rust program to generate a floating-point random number between a specific range

Program/Source Code:

The source code to generate a floating-point random number between the specific range is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on UBUNTU 18.04 successfully.

// Rust program to generate a floating-point 
// random number between a specific range.

use rand::Rng;

fn main() {
    let mut range = rand::thread_rng();  
    println!("Float random number: {}", range.gen_range(10.5,20.6));
}

Output:

$random> cargo run

Float random number: 15.180497931347297

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the "rand" library to our project for generating random numbers. We imported the "rand" library using the below line:

use rand::Rng;

In the main() function, we generated a floating-point integer number between the specified range using the gen_range() method and printed the result.
