### Description

This library provides a basic interface for (splittable) pseudo-random number
generators.

The API documentation can be found here:

> http://hackage.haskell.org/package/random/docs/System-Random.html

An [older version][haskell98-version] of this library is included with GHC in
the `haskell98` package. This newer version is included in the [Haskell
Platform][haskell-platform].

Please report bugs in the [GitHub issue tracker][issue-tracker] (no longer in
the GHC trac).
