Module genevo::random [−] [src]

The random module defines functions that are used to generate random values for specific purposes.

Structs

Closed01	A wrapper for generating floating point numbers uniformly in the closed interval `[0,1]` (including both endpoints).
WeightedDistribution	The `WeightedDistribution` is used to select values proportional to their weighted values.

Rng	A random number generator.
RngJump	A random number generator with jumpable state.
SampleRange	The helper trait for types that have a sensible way to sample uniformly between two values. This should not be used directly, and is only to facilitate `Range`.
SeedableRng	A random number generator that can be explicitly seeded to produce the same stream of randomness multiple times.

get_rng	Returns a new `Prng` initialized with the given seed.
random_cut_points	Generates two cut points for a slice of given length using the given `Prng`. The first of the two returned cut points is always smaller than the second one.
random_cut_points_from_range	Generates two cut points within the given range using the given `Prng`. The first of the two returned cut points is always smaller than the second one.
random_index	Generates a random index into a slice of given length using the given `Prng`.
random_index_from_range	Generates a random index in the given range using the given `Prng`.
random_n_cut_points	Generates `n` cut points for a slice of given length using the given `Prng`. The returned cut points are ordered in ascending order.
random_probability	Generates a random probability between 0 and 1 using the given `Prng`.
random_seed	Generates a random seed to initialize the `Prng`.

Prng	The `Prng` is the pseudo random number generator used through out this library.
Seed	The `Seed` as used through out this library to seed the `Prng`.
