Member Function Documentation

virtual double theplu::yat::random::Continuous::operator()

(

void

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns:

A random number

Implemented in theplu::yat::random::ContinuousUniform, theplu::yat::random::ContinuousGeneral, theplu::yat::random::Exponential, and theplu::yat::random::Gaussian.

void theplu::yat::random::Continuous::seed

(

unsigned long

s

)

const

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).

seed_from_devurandom, RNG::seed_from_devurandom, RNG::seed

unsigned long theplu::yat::random::Continuous::seed_from_devurandom

(

void

)

[inline]

Set the seed using the /dev/urandom device.

Returns:

The seed acquired from /dev/urandom.
