Serializable
,RepeatableRNG
public class XORShiftRNG extends Random implements RepeatableRNG
Very fast pseudo random number generator. See this page for a description. This RNG has a period of about 2^160, which is not as long as the
MersenneTwisterRNG
but it is faster.NOTE: Because instances of this class require 160-bit seeds, it is not possible to seed this RNG using the
Random.setSeed(long)
method inherited fromRandom
. Calls to this method will have no effect. Instead the seed must be set by a constructor.- Since:
