Random

[Source]

The Random trait should be implemented by all random number generators. The only method you need to implement is fun ref next(): U64. Once that method has been implemented, the Random trait provides default implementations of conversions to other number types.

trait ref Random

Constructors

create

[Source]

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^

Parameters

  • x: U64 val = 5489
  • y: U64 val = 0

Returns
