Detailed Description

Uniform distribution.

Class for generating a random number from a uniform distribution in the range [0,1), i.e. zero is included but not 1.

Distribution function $ f(x) = 1 $ for $ 0 \le x < 1 $
Expectation value: 0.5
Variance: $ \frac{1}{12} $

Member Function Documentation

double theplu::yat::random::ContinuousUniform::operator() ( void  ) const
virtual
Returns
A random number

Implements theplu::yat::random::Continuous.

void theplu::yat::random::Continuous::seed ( unsigned long  s) const
inherited

Set the seed to s.

Set the seed to s in the underlying rng. If s is zero, a default value from the rng's original implementation is used (cf. GSL documentation).

Deprecated:
Provided for backward compatibility with the 0.7 API. Use RNG::instance()->seed(s) instead.
unsigned long theplu::yat::random::Continuous::seed_from_devurandom ( void  )
inherited

Set the seed using the /dev/urandom device.

Returns
The seed acquired from /dev/urandom.
Deprecated:
Provided for backward compatibility with the 0.7 API. Use RNG::instance()->seed_from_devurandom() instead.
