deferred class GEN_RAND
--
-- Here is the common way to use a random number generator.
-- Current implementations are MIN_STAND, STD_RAND.
--
feature -- Creation procedures:
make is
-- Create the generator with an automatic hazardous setting of
-- the `seed_value'.
-- Because automatic setting may be done using internal address
-- of Current for example, it may produces platform dependent
-- behavior or compilation-mode dependant behavior.
-- Also consider `with_seed' to chose the most appropriate.
deferred
end;
with_seed(seed_value: INTEGER) is
-- Create the generator with an explicit `seed_value'.
deferred
end;
feature
next is
-- Compute next random number in sequence.
deferred
end;
feature -- No modifications :
last_double: DOUBLE is
-- Look at the last computed number.
-- Range 0 to 1;
do
Result := last_real.to_double;
ensure
Result > 0 and Result < 1
end;
last_real: REAL is
-- Look at the last computed number.
-- Range 0 to 1;
deferred
ensure
Result > 0 and Result < 1
end;
last_integer(n:INTEGER):INTEGER is
-- Look the last computed number.
-- Range 1 to `n'.
require
n >= 1
deferred
ensure
1 <= Result and Result <= n
