5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *random-state*
Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.


5.1.2 Compiler macros

Compiler Macro: random (arg &optional state)
Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.


5.1.3 Ordinary functions

Function: %random-double-float (arg state)

Handle the single or double float case of RANDOM. We generate a float
in [0d0, 1d0) by clobbering the mantissa of 1d0 with random bits (52 bits); this yields a number in [1d0, 2d0). Then 1d0 is subtracted.

Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.

Function: %random-single-float (arg state)

Handle the single or double float case of RANDOM. We generate a float
in [0f0, 1f0) by clobbering the mantissa of 1f0 with random bits (23 bits); this yields a number in [1f0, 2f0). Then 1f0 is subtracted.

Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.

Function: init-random-state (&optional seed state)

Generate an random state vector from the given SEED. The seed can be either an integer or a vector of (unsigned-byte 32)

Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.

Function: make-random-state (&optional state)

Make a random state object. If STATE is not supplied, return a copy of the default random state. If STATE is a random state, then return a copy of STATE. If STATE is T then return a random state generated from the universal time. To make a random state from an integer seed, try “(make-random-object :state (init-random-state <seed>))”.

Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.

Function: random (arg &optional state)

Generates a uniformly distributed pseudo-random number greater than or equal to zero and less than Arg. State, if supplied, is the random state to use.

Package

mt19937.

Source

mt19937.lisp.

Function: random-chunk (state)
Package

mt19937.

Source

5.2.2 Ordinary functions

Function: %random-integer (arg state)

Generates an integer greater than or equal to zero and less than Arg. Successive chunks are concatenated without overlap to construct integers larger than a single chunk. The return value has this property:
If two integers are generated from the same state with Arg equal to 2^m and 2^n, respectively, then bit k is the same in both integers for 0 <= k < min(m,n). Each call to %RANDOM-INTEGER consumes at least one chunk; bits left over from previous chunks are not re-used.
