Lfrand.3kaya

NAME

Lfrand - 'Lagged Fibonacci' random number generator

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a 'Lagged Fibonacci' pseudo-random number generator. This type of RNG gives considerably better quality numbers than the standard Builtins.rand(3kaya) function, and so is suitable for use in simulations requiring a good degree of randomness (though not in cryptography).

You should call Lfrand.lfSrand(3kaya) before using other functions from this module.
