| Summary | 0019353: NextWithInclusiveUpperBound in ArcenRandomDrawBag? | ||||
| Description | Related to 0019350, where it was legitimately a crash because I used it wrong. However, that led me to do a search for usage of this in the projects other than that, and I found three cases of this: two in ArcenRandomDrawBag (your code), and one in SFXClipRandomDrawBag (which I adapted from that because I needed slightly more specific functionality). The actual error was not in either of those files, but I'd appreciate it if you could review ArcenRandomDrawBag and let me know if that usage of NextWithInclusiveUpperBound seems correct. If so, then probably it should be used again in SFXClipRandomDrawBag as well. My thought is that with one of these approaches -- either the exclusive or the inclusive rand -- we're going to be excluding the last item in the weighted lists. My brain is sluggish and I can't think which one is going to be the case, though. Right now SFXClipRandomDrawBag has been shifted to just use Next(), but I'm not sure that's ideal after all. | ||||

The upper bound was fine, a unit test of a d6 (with 1 item each of 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 added in that order) showed that it returned 6 just as often as 2,3,4,5. But I'm very glad you asked, because it turns out that the first item (1 in this case) was being returned twice as often as the others, because the roll was from 0 to count instead of 1 to count, and either a 0 or 1 equated to picking the first item. Now it rolls from 1 to count and it's testing even. I applied that to both the normal random draw bag and your specialized sfx one. |
