2 // Mersenne Twister random number generator -- a C++ class MTRand
3 // Based on code by Makoto Matsumoto, Takuji Nishimura, and Shawn Cokus
6 // The Mersenne Twister is an algorithm for generating random numbers. It
7 // was designed with consideration of the flaws in various other generators.
8 // The period, 2^19937-1, and the order of equidistribution, 623 dimensions,
9 // are far greater. The generator is also fast; it avoids multiplication and
10 // division, and it benefits from caches and pipelines. For more information
11 // see the inventors' web page at http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~matumoto/emt.html

363 // v0.1 - First release on 15 May 2000
364 // - Based on code by Makoto Matsumoto, Takuji Nishimura, and Shawn Cokus
365 // - Translated from C to C++
366 // - Made completely ANSI compliant
367 // - Designed convenient interface for initialization, seeding, and
368 // obtaining numbers in default or user-defined ranges
369 // - Added automatic seeding from /dev/urandom or time() and clock()
370 // - Provided functions for saving and loading generator state
372 // v0.2 - Fixed bug which reloaded generator one step too late
374 // v0.3 - Switched to clearer, faster reload() code from Matthew Bellew
376 // v0.4 - Removed trailing newline in saved generator format to be consistent
377 // with output format of built-in types
379 // v0.5 - Improved portability by replacing static const int's with enum's and
380 // clarifying return values in seed(); suggested by Eric Heimburg
381 // - Removed MAXINT constant; use 0xffffffffUL instead
383 // v0.6 - Eliminated seed overflow when uint32 is larger than 32 bits
384 // - Changed integer [0,n] generator to give better uniformity
386 // v0.7 - Fixed operator precedence ambiguity in reload()
387 // - Added access for real numbers in (0,1) and (0,n)

391 // v1.0 - Revised seeding to match 26 Jan 2002 update of Nishimura and Matsumoto
392 // - Allowed for seeding with arrays of any length
393 // - Added access for real numbers in [0,1) with 53-bit resolution
394 // - Added access for real numbers from normal (Gaussian) distributions
395 // - Increased overall speed by optimizing twist()
396 // - Doubled speed of integer [0,n] generation
397 // - Fixed out-of-range number generation on 64-bit machines
398 // - Improved portability by substituting literal constants for long enum's
