Constructor & Destructor Documentation

libcoyotl::mtwister::mtwister ( )

The constructor initializes the prng seed from either the time or some stochastic source such as /dev/random or /dev/urandom.

libcoyotl::mtwister::mtwister ( uint32_t  seed)

The constructor uses an explicit value for the seed.

Parameters
seed- Seed value used to "start" or seed the generator

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t libcoyotl::mtwister::get_rand ( )
virtual

Returns the next uint32_t in sequence.

Returns
A pseudorandom uint32_t value

Implements libcoyotl::prng.

virtual void libcoyotl::mtwister::init ( uint32_t  seed)
virtual

Resets the generator using the provided seed value.

Parameters
seed- Seed value used to "start" or seed the generator

Reimplemented from libcoyotl::prng.
