4.6. Standard Module whrandom
This module implements a Wichmann-Hill pseudo-random number generator.
It defines the following functions:
- random () -- function of module whrandom
-
Returns the next random floating point number in the range [0.0 ... 1.0).
- seed (x, y, z) -- function of module whrandom
-
Initializes the random number generator from the integers
x,
y
and
z.
When the module is first imported, the random number is initialized
using values derived from the current time.
