Constructor Detail

Well1024a

public Well1024a()

Creates a new random number generator.

The instance is initialized using the current time as the seed.

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value from this random number generator's sequence

nextBoolean

public boolean nextBoolean()

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence.

Returns:

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence

nextDouble

public double nextDouble()

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

Returns:

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence

nextFloat

public float nextFloat()

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

Returns:

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence

nextLong

public long nextLong()

Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed long value from this random number generator's sequence. All 2⁶⁴ possible long values should be produced with (approximately) equal probability.

Returns:

the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed long value from this random number generator's sequence

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] bytes)

Generates random bytes and places them into a user-supplied byte array. The number of random bytes produced is equal to the length of the byte array.

Parameters:

bytes - the non-null byte array in which to put the random bytes

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] bytes,
                      int start,
                      int len)

Generates random bytes and places them into a user-supplied byte array.

Parameters:

bytes - the non-null byte array in which to put the random bytes

start - the starting index for inserting the generated bytes into the array

len - the number of bytes to generate

setSeed

public void setSeed(int seed)

Sets the seed of the underlying random number generator using an int seed.
