Question

I am looking at having a option to specify how often something should run, in terms of a percentage.

So I would have a textbox, that takes a number 0-100 to detirmine a percentage. I want to then take this number, and convert in into a matching random statement.

So for example:

textPercentage.text = "10"

would be changed to something like:

if (rnd.Next(1, 11) = 1)
{
   do();
}

What is the best way to convert that numerical value to a matching random statement?

Answer 1

var i = int.Parse(textPercentage.Text);
if (rnd.Next(1, 101) <= i)
{
    do();
}

You might want to use int.TryParse in stead of int.Parse to gracefully handle non digit inputs.
