Member Function Documentation

emptySeed()

virtual ByteUniqueArray Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::emptySeed ( )

pure virtual

Method allowing retrieval of an empty seed of the correct size.

Returns

ByteUniqueArray The empty seed.

generateRandomNumber() [1/2]

virtual Real Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::generateRandomNumber ( ByteArrayView seed, Integer leap = 0 )

pure virtual

Method allowing generation of a random number using the seed passed as a parameter.

This method does not use the seed in memory but the seed provided as a parameter. If the seed provided as a parameter does not have the correct size, an error will be raised.

Parameters

seed	The seed.
leap	The leap to perform (0 = number n+1+0 / 1 = number n+1+1).

Returns

Real The generated number (between 0 and 1).

generateRandomNumber() [2/2]

virtual Real Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::generateRandomNumber ( Integer leap = 0 )

pure virtual

Method allowing generation of a random number using the seed in memory.

Parameters

leap	The leap to perform (0 = number n+1+0 / 1 = number n+1+1).

Returns

Real The generated number (between 0 and 1).

generateRandomSeed() [1/2]

virtual ByteUniqueArray Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::generateRandomSeed ( ByteArrayView parent_seed, Integer leap = 0 )

pure virtual

Method allowing generation of a "child" seed from a "parent" seed.

This method does not use the seed in memory but the seed provided as a parameter. If the seed provided as a parameter does not have the correct size, an error will be raised.

Parameters

parent_seed	The "parent" seed.
leap	The leap to perform (0 = seed n+1+0 / 1 = seed n+1+1).

Returns

ByteUniqueArray The new seed generated from the "parent" seed.

generateRandomSeed() [2/2]

virtual ByteUniqueArray Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::generateRandomSeed ( Integer leap = 0 )

pure virtual

Method allowing generation of a "child" seed from a "parent" seed.

Parameters

leap	The leap to perform (0 = seed n+1+0 / 1 = seed n+1+1).

Returns

ByteUniqueArray The new seed generated from the seed in memory.

initSeed() [1/2]

virtual bool Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::initSeed ( )

pure virtual

Method allowing initialization of the service.

With the seed optional (or the default seed if in singleton mode).

Returns

true If initialization was successful.

false If initialization did not occur.

initSeed() [2/2]

virtual bool Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::initSeed ( ByteArrayView seed )

pure virtual

Method allowing initialization of the service.

If the seed does not have the correct size, false will be returned.

Parameters

seed	The original seed.

Returns

true If initialization was successful.

false If initialization did not occur.

isLeapNumberSupported()

virtual bool Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::isLeapNumberSupported ( )

pure virtual

Method allowing knowledge if leaps are allowed on the number generator.

Returns

true If yes.

false If no.

isLeapSeedSupported()

virtual bool Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::isLeapSeedSupported ( )

pure virtual

Method allowing knowledge if leaps are allowed on the seed generator.

Returns

true If yes.

false If no.

neededSizeOfSeed()

virtual Integer Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::neededSizeOfSeed ( )

pure virtual

Method allowing knowledge of the seed size required for the implementation.

Returns

Integer The required seed size (in bytes).

viewSeed()

virtual ByteConstArrayView Arcane::IRandomNumberGenerator::viewSeed ( )

pure virtual

Method allowing retrieval of a constant view of the current seed.

Returns

ByteArrayView The seed.
