Random
The Random
trait should be implemented by all random number generators. The only method you need to implement is fun ref next(): 64
. Once that method has been implemented, the Random
trait provides default implementations of conversions to other number types.
trait ref Random
Constructors
create
Create with the specified seed. Returned values are deterministic for a given seed.
new ref create( x: U64 val = 5489, y: U64 val = 0) : Random ref^

Returns
- Random ref^

like int
.
