/**
* The {@link RandomGenerator} interface is designed to provide a common
* protocol for objects that generate random or (more typically) pseudorandom
* sequences of numbers (or Boolean values). Such a sequence may be obtained by
* either repeatedly invoking a method that returns a single pseudorandomly
* chosen value, or by invoking a method that returns a stream of
* pseudorandomly chosen values.
*
* Ideally, given an implicitly or explicitly specified range of values,
* each value would be chosen independently and uniformly from that range. In
* practice, one may have to settle for some approximation to independence and
* uniformity.
*
*
In the case of {@code int}, {@code long}, and {@code boolean} values, if
* there is no explicit specification of range, then the range includes all
* possible values of the type. In the case of {@code float} and {@code double}
* values, first a value is always chosen uniformly from the set of
* 2w values between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive),
* where w is 23 for {@code float} values and 52 for {@code double}
* values, such that adjacent values differ by 2−w
* (notice that this set is a subset of the set of
* all representable floating-point values between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive));
* then if an explicit range was specified, then the chosen number is
* computationally scaled and translated so as to appear to have been chosen
* approximately uniformly from that explicit range.
*
*
Each method that returns a stream produces a stream of values each of
* which is chosen in the same manner as for a method that returns a single
* pseudorandomly chosen value. For example, if {@code r} implements
* {@link RandomGenerator}, then the method call {@code r.ints(100)} returns a
* stream of 100 {@code int} values. These are not necessarily the exact same
* values that would have been returned if instead {@code r.nextInt()} had been
* called 100 times; all that is guaranteed is that each value in the stream is
* chosen in a similar pseudorandom manner from the same range.
*
*
Every object that implements the {@link RandomGenerator} interface by
* using a pseudorandom algorithm is assumed to contain a finite amount of
* state. Using such an object to generate a pseudorandomly chosen value alters
* its state by computing a new state as a function of the current state,
* without reference to any information other than the current state. The number
* of distinct possible states of such an object is called its period.
* (Some implementations of the {@link RandomGenerator} interface may be truly
* random rather than pseudorandom, for example relying on the statistical
* behavior of a physical object to derive chosen values. Such implementations
* do not have a fixed period.)
*
*
As a rule, objects that implement the {@link RandomGenerator} interface
* need not be thread-safe. It is recommended that multithreaded applications
* use either {@link ThreadLocalRandom} or (preferably) pseudorandom number
* generators that implement the {@link SplittableGenerator} or
* {@link JumpableGenerator} interface.
*
*
Objects that implement {@link RandomGenerator} are typically not
* cryptographically secure. Consider instead using {@link SecureRandom} to get
* a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator for use by
* security-sensitive applications. Note, however, that {@link SecureRandom}
* does implement the {@link RandomGenerator} interface, so that instances of
* {@link SecureRandom} may be used interchangeably with other types of
* pseudorandom generators in applications that do not require a secure
* generator.
*
*
Unless explicit stated otherwise, the use of null for any method argument
* will cause a NullPointerException.
