C# Class RandomOps.XorShift

Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) based on XorShift as described in the paper: G. Marsaglia, Random Number Generators, Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods, 2003, vol. 2, no. 1, p. 2-13. Period of this PRNG is about 2^160. Not thread-safe.

Public Methods

Method Description
Rand ( ) : UInt32

Draw a random number in inclusive range {0, .., RandMax}
Seed ( UInt32 seed ) : void

Seed with an array.
XorShift ( ) : System

Constructs the PRNG-object without a seed. Remember to seed it before drawing random numbers.
XorShift ( Random rand ) : System

Constructs the PRNG-object and uses another RNG for seeding.
XorShift ( 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.
