public class Well1024a
extends AbstractWell

This class implements the WELL1024a pseudo-random number generator from François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto.

This generator is described in a paper by François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto Improved Long-Period Generators Based on Linear Recurrences Modulo 2 ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 32, 1 (2006). The errata for the paper are in wellrng-errata.txt.

Constructor Detail

Well1024a

public Well1024a()

Creates a new random number generator.

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

Well1024a

public Well1024a(int seed)

Creates a new random number generator using a single int seed.

Parameters:

seed - the initial seed (32 bits integer)

Well1024a

public Well1024a(int[] seed)

Creates a new random number generator using an int array seed.

Parameters:

seed - the initial seed (32 bits integers array), if null the seed of the generator will be related to the current time

Well1024a

public Well1024a(long seed)

Creates a new random number generator using a single long seed.

Parameters:

seed - the initial seed (64 bits integer)

Method Detail

next

protected int next(int bits)

Generate next pseudorandom number.

This method is the core generation algorithm. It is used by all the public generation methods for the various primitive types BitsStreamGenerator.nextBoolean(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextBytes(byte[]), BitsStreamGenerator.nextDouble(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextFloat(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextGaussian(), BitsStreamGenerator.nextInt(), BitsStreamGenerator.next(int) and BitsStreamGenerator.nextLong().

Specified by:

next in class AbstractWell

Parameters:

bits - number of random bits to produce

Returns:

random bits generated
