public class Ran005 : RandomGenerator
The Ran005 type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Ran005 | Initializes a new instance of the Ran005 class. | |
| Ran005(UInt32) | Initializes a new instance of the Ran005 class with a specified seed. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum | The maximum value of the random number which can be returned. (Inherited from RandomGenerator) | |
| Seed | Gets the current seed value. (Inherited from RandomGenerator) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) | |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object) | |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) | |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) | |
| Long | The generation function. (Overrides RandomGeneratorLong) | |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) | |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| max_val | Uniform long int values within [0...max_val]. (Inherited from RandomGenerator) | |
| seed | The seed of the random generator. (Inherited from RandomGenerator) |
Just use it for comparison purposes, etc.
- As you see the spacing of the numbers is very coarse.
- Low order correlations are present.
- The period is effectively infinite.
- At least 32 bit long int is required.
- Corresponds to generator "ran2" of
