whrandom
This module implements a Wichmann-Hill pseudo-random number generator
class that is also named whrandom
. Instances of the
whrandom
class have the following methods:
a<=N<=b
.
a<=N<b
.
When imported, the whrandom
module also creates an instance of
the whrandom
class, and makes the methods of that instance
available at the module level. Therefore one can write either
N = whrandom.random()
or:
generator = whrandom.whrandom() N = generator.random()
