| \stmodindex{whrandom} |
| This module implements a Wichmann-Hill pseudo-random number generator. |
| It defines the following functions: |
| |
| \renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module whrandom)} |
| \begin{funcdesc}{random}{} |
| Returns the next random floating point number in the range [0.0 ... 1.0). |
| \end{funcdesc} |
| |
| \begin{funcdesc}{seed}{x\, y\, z} |
| Initializes the random number generator from the integers |
| \var{x}, |
| \var{y} |
| and |
| \var{z}. |
| When the module is first imported, the random number is initialized |
| using values derived from the current time. |
| \end{funcdesc} |
