| Description |
Tested with: GHC 6.8.2
A purely functional binding 64 bit binding to the classic mersenne
twister random number generator. This is more flexible than the
impure mersenne library, at the cost of being much slower.
This generator is however, many times faster than System.Random,
and yields high quality randoms with a long period.
This generator may be used with System.Random, however, that is
likely to be slower than using it directly.

|
| Introduction
|
|
| pureMT :: Word -> PureMT |
| Create a PureMT generator from a Word seed.
|
|
| newPureMT :: IO PureMT |
| Create a new PureMT generator, using the clocktime as the base for the seed.
|
|
| Being purely functional, the PureMT generator is an instance of
RandomGen. However, it doesn't support split yet.
|
|
| Low level access to the generator
|
|
| randomInt :: PureMT -> (Int, PureMT) |
| Yield a new Int value from the generator, returning a new
generator and that Int. The full 64 bits will be used on a 64 bit machine.
|
|
| randomWord :: PureMT -> (Word, PureMT) |
| Yield a new Word value from the generator, returning a new
generator and that Word.
|
|
| randomInt64 :: PureMT -> (Int64, PureMT) |
| Yield a new Int64 value from the generator, returning a new
generator and that Int64.
|
|
| randomWord64 :: PureMT -> (Word64, PureMT) |
| Yield a new Word64 value from the generator, returning a new
generator and that Word64.
|
|
| randomDouble :: PureMT -> (Double, PureMT) |
| Efficiently yield a new 53-bit precise Double value, and a new generator.
