Alias `std.random.MinstdRand0`

Define LinearCongruentialEngine generators with well-chosen parameters. MinstdRand0 implements Park and Miller's "minimal standard" generator that uses 16807 for the multiplier. MinstdRand implements a variant that has slightly better spectral behavior by using the multiplier 48271. Both generators are rather simplistic.


						
				alias MinstdRand0
				 = LinearCongruentialEngine!(uint,16807,0,2147483647);

Example

// seed with a constant
auto rnd0 = MinstdRand0(1);
auto n = rnd0.front;
 // same for each run
writeln(n); // 16807

// Seed with an unpredictable value
rnd0.seed(unpredictableSeed);
n = rnd0.front; // different across runs
