Class DRand

java.lang.Object
cern.colt.PersistentObject
cern.jet.random.engine.RandomEngine
cern.jet.random.engine.DRand
All Implemented Interfaces:
DoubleFunction, IntFunction, Serializable, Cloneable
public class DRand extends RandomEngine
Quick medium quality uniform pseudo-random number generator. Produces uniformly distributed int's and long's in the closed intervals [Integer.MIN_VALUE,Integer.MAX_VALUE] and [Long.MIN_VALUE,Long.MAX_VALUE], respectively, as well as float's and double's in the open unit intervals (0.0f,1.0f) and (0.0,1.0), respectively.

The seed can be any integer satisfying 0 < 4*seed+1 < 232. In other words, there must hold seed >= 0 && seed < 1073741823.

Quality: This generator follows the multiplicative congruential method of the form

z(i+1) = a * z(i) (mod m) with a=663608941 (=0X278DDE6DL), m=232.
z(i) assumes all different values 0 < 4*seed+1 < m during a full period of 230.

Performance: TO_DO

Implementation: TO_DO

Note that this implementation is not synchronized.

      public DRand(int seed)
      Constructs and returns a random number generator with the given seed.
      Parameters:
      seed - should not be 0, in such a case DRand.DEFAULT_SEED is substituted.

      Constructs and returns a random number generator seeded with the given date.
      Parameters:

    • nextInt

      public int nextInt()
      Returns a 32 bit uniformly distributed random number in the closed interval [Integer.MIN_VALUE,Integer.MAX_VALUE] (including Integer.MIN_VALUE and Integer.MAX_VALUE).
      Specified by:
      nextInt in class RandomEngine

    • setSeed

      protected void setSeed(int seed)
      Sets the receiver's seed. This method resets the receiver's entire internal state. The following condition must hold: seed >= 0 && seed < (232-1) / 4.
      Parameters:
      seed - if the above condition does not hold, a modified seed that meets the condition is silently substituted.
