SubtractiveRandomGenerator
NAME
SubtractiveRandomGenerator - implementation of a pseudo random number generator
SYNOPSIS
PROCEDURE Create(VAR sequence: Random.Sequence; seed: LONGINT);
DESCRIPTION
SubtractiveRandomGenerator
offers an implementation of RandomGenerators.
The implementation uses the
subtractive method taken from Knuth, Seminumerical Algorithms, 3.2.2 and
3.6. This pseudo random number generator is recommended if a large quantity
of uniformly distributed random numbers is needed. The produced random numbers
are not cryptographically secure.
CreateSequence
creates and initializes a new sequence of pseudo random numbers. The sequence
of random numbers depends on seed.
