/*
 * Although we could simply use CommonRandom, it's better to use 'srand48' and 'mrand48' Unix alternatives because they act with the full range of integers.
 *
 * That is: C's 'rand' generates only POSITIVE integer values (ranging from 0..2^31), so that the MSB is always 0, and C's 'srand' takes the seed argument as an INT instead of a LONG INT.
 *
 * In counterpart, 'mrand48' generates SIGNED integer values (ranging from -2^31..2^31), fully using the MSB, and 'srand48' takes the seed argument as a LONG INT.
