public class RandomEngineJava
extends RandomEngine
This is the simplest implementation of the abstract class RandomEngine: it is based on the existing pseudo-random java engine and is the basis of the other generators in the hierarchy. Note however that this generator and the java one draw different numbers on the same seed.

Constructor Index

o RandomEngineJava()
Creates a new random number generator.
o RandomEngineJava(long)
Creates a new random number generator using the given seed.

Method Index

o nextByte()
Returns the next pseudo-random byte from this generator.
o setSeed(long)
Sets a new seed.

Parameters:
seed - The initial seed.

Methods

o nextByte 
 public byte nextByte()
Returns the next pseudo-random byte from this generator.

Returns:
the next pseudo-random byte from this generator.
Overrides:
