Public Methods

Method	Description
MWC256 ( ) : System	Constructs the PRNG-object without a seed. Remember to seed it before drawing random numbers.
MWC256 ( Random rand ) : System	Constructs the PRNG-object and uses another RNG for seeding.
MWC256 ( UInt32 seed ) : System	Constructs the PRNG-object using the designated seed. This is useful if you want to repeat experiments with the same sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
Rand ( ) : UInt32	Draw a random number in inclusive range {0, .., RandMax}
Seed ( UInt32 seed ) : void	Seed with an array.
