Random method

hi group I'm new in RubyonRails world i need to define a method that will generate random CPU utilization (0-100%)

as in something that will create that amount of load on the computer
it's running on ?

no just by fake numbers that will be generated from the method inside the model

Two options:

1+rand(100) will give you a range of 1-100 (it will never show as 0%)

rand(101) will give you a range of 0-100 (0% is possible)

Basic ruby 101 to be honest.

1+rand(100) will give you a range of 1-100 (it will never show as 0%) rand(101) will give you a range of 0-100 (0% is possible)

I don't know what your actually trying to accomplish, but it doesn't seem to me that simply generating random numbers between 0 and 100 would be a very realistic test of CPU load. Load on a CPU wouldn't look like random noise.

I think I would generate random numbers that add to another value in small increments in some form of moving average to produce a more realistic result. But, this depends on if you care about the value over time, or just need an instance in time value.
