Method Detail

### setSeed

    public void setSeed(int seed)

  The state of the generator is exactly the same as a new generator built with the same seed.

  Specified by:
    `setSeed` in interface `RandomGenerator`
  Specified by:
    `setSeed` in class `BitsStreamGenerator`
  Parameters:
    `seed` - the initial seed (32 bits integer)

### setSeed

    public void setSeed(int[] seed)

  Reinitialize the generator as if just built with the given int array seed.

  The state of the generator is exactly the same as a new generator built with the same seed.

  Specified by:
    `setSeed` in interface `RandomGenerator`
  Specified by:
    `setSeed` in class `BitsStreamGenerator`
  Parameters:
    `seed` - the initial seed (32 bits integers array), if null the seed of the generator will be related to the current time

### setSeed

    public void setSeed(long seed)

  Reinitialize the generator as if just built with the given long seed.

  The state of the generator is exactly the same as a new generator built with the same seed.

  Specified by:
    `setSeed` in interface `RandomGenerator`
  Specified by:
    `setSeed` in class `BitsStreamGenerator`
  Parameters:
    `seed` - the initial seed (64 bits integer)

### next

    protected abstract int next(int bits)

  Generate next pseudorandom number.

  This method is the core generation algorithm. It is used by all the public generation methods for the various primitive types `BitsStreamGenerator.nextBoolean()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextBytes(byte[])`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextDouble()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextFloat()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextGaussian()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextInt()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.next(int)` and `BitsStreamGenerator.nextLong()`.

  Specified by:
    `next` in class `BitsStreamGenerator`
  Parameters:
    `bits` - number of random bits to produce
  Returns:
    random bits generated
