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:

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:
