Detailed Description

Linear Congruential Generator (LCG)

Originally propsed by William S. England.

Warning
LC_RNG is suitable for simulations, where uniformaly distrubuted numbers are required quickly. It should not be used for cryptographic purposes.

Definition at line 22 of file rng.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LC_RNG::LC_RNG ( word32  init_seed)
inline

Construct a Linear Congruential Generator (LCG)

Parameters
init_seedthe initial value for the generator

Definition at line 27 of file rng.h.

Member Function Documentation

void LC_RNG::GenerateBlock ( byte output,
size_t  size 
)
virtual

Generate random array of bytes.

Parameters
outputthe byte buffer
sizethe length of the buffer, in bytes

All generated values are uniformly distributed over the range specified within the the constraints of a particular generator.

Note
A derived generator must override either GenerateBlock() or GenerateIntoBufferedTransformation(). They can override both, or have one call the other.

Reimplemented from RandomNumberGenerator.
