Struct rand::XorShiftRng [-] [+] [src]

pub struct XorShiftRng {
    // some fields omitted
}

An Xorshift[1] random number generator.

The Xorshift algorithm is not suitable for cryptographic purposes but is very fast. If you do not know for sure that it fits your requirements, use a more secure one such as IsaacRng or OsRng.

Methods

`impl XorShiftRng`

`fn new_unseeded() -> XorShiftRng`

Creates a new XorShiftRng instance which is not seeded.

The initial values of this RNG are constants, so all generators created by this function will yield the same stream of random numbers. It is highly recommended that this is created through SeedableRng instead of this function

Trait Implementations

`impl Rng for XorShiftRng`

`fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32`

`fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64`

`fn next_f32(&mut self) -> f32`

`fn next_f64(&mut self) -> f64`

`fn fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8])`

`fn gen<T: Rand>(&mut self) -> T`

`fn gen_iter<'a, T: Rand>(&'a mut self) -> Generator<'a, T, Self>`

`fn gen_range<T: PartialOrd + SampleRange>(&mut self, low: T, high: T) -> T`

`fn gen_weighted_bool(&mut self, n: u32) -> bool`

`fn gen_ascii_chars<'a>(&'a mut self) -> AsciiGenerator<'a, Self>`

`impl SeedableRng<[u32; 4]> for XorShiftRng`

`fn reseed(&mut self, seed: [u32; 4])`

Reseed an XorShiftRng. This will panic if seed is entirely 0.

`fn from_seed(seed: [u32; 4]) -> XorShiftRng`

Create a new XorShiftRng. This will panic if seed is entirely 0.
