$gtype: GType<GLib.Rand>

Methods

  • Returns the next random gdouble from rand_ equally distributed over the range [0..1).

    Returns number

    a random number

  • Returns the next random gdouble from rand_ equally distributed over the range [begin..end).

    Parameters

    • begin: number

      lower closed bound of the interval

    • end: number

      upper open bound of the interval

    Returns number

    a random number

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

    Returns number

    a random number

  • Returns the next random gint32 from rand_ equally distributed over the range [begin..end-1].

    Parameters

    • begin: number

      lower closed bound of the interval

    • end: number

      upper open bound of the interval

    Returns number

    a random number

  • Sets the seed for the random number generator GLib.Rand to seed.

    Parameters

    • seed: number

      a value to reinitialize the random number generator

    Returns void

  • 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: number

      array to initialize with

    • seed_length: number

      length of array

    Returns void
