org.gnome.glib.Rand

All Implemented Interfaces:

Proxy

@Generated("io.github.jwharm.JavaGI")
public class Rand
extends ProxyInstance

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

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor	Description
Rand()	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).
Rand(MemorySegment address)	Create a Rand proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Rand	copy()	Copies a GRand into a new one with the same exact state as before.

Constructor Details

Rand

public Rand(MemorySegment address)

Create a Rand proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

Rand

public Rand()

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).

On Windows, the seed is taken from rand_s().

Method Details

getType

public static Type getType()

Get the GType of the Rand class

Returns:

the GType

withSeed

public static Rand withSeed(int seed)

Creates a new random number generator initialized with seed.

Parameters:

seed - a value to initialize the random number generator

Returns:

the new GRand

withSeedArray

public static Rand withSeedArray(MemorySegment seed,
 int seedLength)

Creates a new random number generator initialized with seed.

Parameters:

seed - an array of seeds to initialize the random number generator

seedLength - an array of seeds to initialize the random number generator

Returns:

the new GRand

copy

public Rand copy()

Copies 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_

public double double_()

Returns the next random gdouble from this Rand equally distributed over the range [0..1).

Returns:

a random number

doubleRange

public double doubleRange(double begin,
 double end)

Returns the next random gdouble from this Rand equally distributed over the range [begin..end).

Parameters:

begin - lower closed bound of the interval

end - upper open bound of the interval

Returns:

a random number

free

public void free()

Frees the memory allocated for the GRand.

int_

public int int_()

Returns the next random guint32 from this Rand equally distributed over the range [0..2^32-1].

Returns:

a random number

intRange

public int intRange(int begin,
 int end)

Returns the next random gint32 from this Rand equally distributed over the range end-1.

Parameters:

begin - lower closed bound of the interval

end - upper open bound of the interval

Returns:

a random number

setSeed

public void setSeed(int seed)

Sets the seed for the random number generator GRand to seed.

Parameters:

seed - a value to reinitialize the random number generator

setSeedArray

public void setSeedArray(MemorySegment seed,
 int seedLength)

Initializes 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, or if you require more then 32 bits of actual entropy for your application.

Parameters:

seed - array to initialize with

seedLength - length of array
