Module Random: pseudo-random number generator

val init : int -> unit
Initialize the generator, using the argument as a seed. The same seed will always yield the same sequence of numbers.
val full_init : int array -> unit
Same as init but takes more data as seed.
val bits : unit -> int
Return 30 random bits in a nonnegative integer.
val int : int -> int
Random.int bound returns a random number between 0 (inclusive) and bound (exclusive). bound must be positive and smaller than 2^{30}.
val float : float -> float
Random.float bound returns a random number between 0 (inclusive) and bound (exclusive).
