|
This module implements a Wichmann-Hill pseudo-random number generator.
|
||
|
|
It defines the following functions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module whrandom)}
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{random}{}
|
||
|
|
Returns the next random floating point number in the range [0.0 ... 1.0).
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{seed}{x\, y\, z}
|
||
|
|
Initializes the random number generator from the integers
|
||
|
|
\var{x},
|
||
|
|
\var{y}
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
\var{z}.
|
||
|
|
When the module is first imported, the random number is initialized
|
||
|
|
using values derived from the current time.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
