Detailed Description

Class randomGen which implements the ISAAC random number generator for uniformely distributed random numbers.

The random number generator initializes with system timea or explicit seeds and returns a random number according to a uniform distribution on [0,1]; making use of the ISAAC random number generator; C++ Implementation by Quinn Tyler Jackson of the RG invented by Bob Jenkins Jr.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

randomGen::randomGen ( )

explicit

Constructor for the ISAAC random number generator class without giving explicit seeds.

The seeds for random number generation are generated from the internal clock of the computer during execution.

randomGen::randomGen	(	unsigned long	seed1,
		unsigned long	seed2,
		unsigned long	seed3
	)

Constructor for the Gaussian random number generator class when seeds are provided explicitly.

The seeds are three arbitrary unsigned long integers.

)

Method to obtain a random number from a uniform ditribution on [0,1].

Function for generating a pseudo random number from a uniform distribution on the interval [0,1].

void randomGen::srand	(	unsigned long	seed1,
		unsigned long	seed2,
		unsigned long	seed3
	)

Function for seeding with fixed seeds.
