glib.rand

Module for [Rand] class

class Rand

Types 1

classRand : gobject.boxed.Boxed

The GRand struct is an opaque data structure. It should only be accessed through the g_rand_* functions.

Methods

void * _cPtr(Flag!"Dup" dup = No.Dup) nothrow

GType _getGType() static nothrow

GType _gType() @property nothrow

Rand self() nothrowReturns `this`, for use in `with` statements.

glib.rand.Rand newWithSeed(uint seed) static nothrowCreates a new random number generator initialized with seed.

glib.rand.Rand newWithSeedArray(uint[] seed) static nothrowCreates a new random number generator initialized with seed.

glib.rand.Rand copy() nothrowCopies a #GRand into a new one with the same exact state as before. This way you can take a snapshot of the random number generator for replaying later. Returns: the new #GRand

double double_() nothrowReturns the next random #gdouble from rand_ equally distributed over the range [0..1). Returns: a random number

double doubleRange(double begin, double end) nothrowReturns the next random #gdouble from rand_ equally distributed over the range [begin..end).

uint int_() nothrowReturns the next random #guint32 from rand_ equally distributed over the range [0..2^32-1]. Returns: a random number

int intRange(int begin, int end) nothrowReturns the next random #gint32 from rand_ equally distributed over the range [begin..end-1].

void setSeed(uint seed) nothrowSets the seed for the random number generator #GRand to seed.

void setSeedArray(uint[] seed) nothrowInitializes the random number generator by an array of longs. Array can be of arbitrary size, though only the first 624 values are taken. This function is useful if you have many low entropy seeds...

Constructors

this(void * ptr, Flag!"Take" take)

this()Creates a new random number generator initialized with a seed taken either from `/dev/urandom` (if existing) or from the current time (as a fallback).
