public class Randint
extends Generator
The class Randint allows to extract uniformely from a known set of natural consecutive numbers (e.g. {4, 5, 6, 7});

Constructor Index

o Randint(int, int)
Creates a new Randint generator using the standard engine and the current time as seed.
o Randint(long, int, int)
Creates a new Randint generator using the standard engine and the given seed.
o Randint(RandomEngine, int, int)
Creates a new Randint generator using the given engine.

Method Index

o density(int)
Returns the type of the extracted value.
o draw()
Draws a value from the generator.
o setParam(int, int)
Change the bounds.
o type()
Abstract method that allows to identify the type of the value.

Constructors

o Randint 
 public Randint(int a,
                int b)
Creates a new Randint generator using the standard engine and the current time as seed.

Parameters:
a - Lower bound.
b - Upper bound.
o Randint 
 public Randint(long seed,
                int a,
                int b)
Creates a new Randint generator using the standard engine and the given seed.

Parameters:
seed - Initial seed for the pseudo-random engine.
a - Lower bound.
b - Upper bound.
o Randint 
 public Randint(RandomEngine e,
                int a,
                int b)
Creates a new Randint generator using the given engine.

Parameters:
e - Pseudo-random bit generator.
a - Lower bound.
b - Upper bound.

Methods

o density 
 public double density(int x)
Returns the type of the extracted value.

o draw 
 public Value draw()
