= rand: pseudo random number generation include "rand.m"; rand = load Rand Rand->PATH; init: fn(seed: int); rand: fn(modulus: int): int; bigrand: fn(modulus: big): big; Init initialises the pseudo-random number generator with seed; subsequent calls to rand and bigrand return a pseudo- random sequence of integers or bigs respectively, between 0 and modulus-1. Modulus should be a non-negative integer; for bigrand, it should be less than 2^53. == source /appl/lib/rand.b == see ALSO security-random(2) == bugs The quality of the algorithm currently used is questionable.
