Detailed Description

A simple random number generator.

---

This class will create random numbers that are spread evenly across a 32 bit range.

This algorithm uses a simple table and iterates over it using an index and bit rotation.

Note

It's permissible to make binary copies of this class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Random()

Burger::Random::Random ( uint32_t uNewSeed = 728056387U )

noexcept

Static constructor.

---

Initialize the random number generator with a call to set_seed(uint32_t).

Parameters

uNewSeed

New seed value

See also

set_seed(uint32_t).

Member Function Documentation

get()

uint32_t Burger::Random::get ( void )

overridevirtualnoexcept

Return a 32 bit pseudo random number.

---

Get a pseudo random number using the current algorithm. Return a 32 bit unsigned value.

Returns

A 32 bit pseudo random number.

See also

set_seed(uint32_t) or get_uint32(uint32_t)

Implements Burger::RandomBase.

get_StaticRTTI()

const Burger::StaticRTTI * Burger::Random::get_StaticRTTI ( void ) const

overridevirtualnoexcept

Get the description to the class.

---

This virtual function will pull the pointer to the StaticRTTI instance that has the name of the class. Due to it being virtual, it will be the name of the most derived class.

Returns

Pointer to a global, read only instance of StaticRTTI for the true class

Reimplemented from Burger::Base.

New()

Burger::Random *BURGER_API Burger::Random::New ( uint32_t uNewSeed = 0 )

staticnoexcept

Create a new instance of Random.

---

Create a new random number generator instance using the Burgerlib memory manager.

Parameters

uNewSeed

Seed value for the random number generator

Returns

Pointer to instance, or nullptr if out of memory.

See also

set_seed(uint32_t).

set_seed()

void Burger::Random::set_seed ( uint32_t uNewSeed )

overridevirtualnoexcept

Seed the random number generator.

---

Set the random number generator to a specific seed. This allows altering the random number flow in a controlled manner.

Parameters

uNewSeed

32 bit seed value.

See also

get(void) or get_seed(void) const

Implements Burger::RandomBase.
