All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, DoubleFunction, IntFunction, Serializable
public class DRand
extends RandomEngine

Quick medium quality uniform pseudo-random number generator. Produces uniformly distributed int's and long's in the closed intervals [Integer.MIN_VALUE,Integer.MAX_VALUE] and [Long.MIN_VALUE,Long.MAX_VALUE], respectively, as well as float's and double's in the open unit intervals (0.0f,1.0f) and (0.0,1.0), respectively.

The seed can be any integer satisfying 0 < 4*seed+1 < 232. In other words, there must hold seed >= 0 && seed < 1073741823.

Quality: This generator follows the multiplicative congruential method of the form

z(i+1) = a * z(i) (mod m) with a=663608941 (=0X278DDE6DL), m=232.
z(i) assumes all different values 0 < 4*seed+1 < m during a full period of 230.

Performance: TO_DO

Implementation: TO_DO

Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
