Struct rand::Isaac64Rng

pub struct Isaac64Rng { /* fields omitted */ }

A random number generator that uses ISAAC-64[1], the 64-bit variant of the ISAAC algorithm.

The ISAAC algorithm is generally accepted as suitable for cryptographic purposes, but this implementation has not be verified as such. Prefer a generator like OsRng that defers to the operating system for cases that need high security.

Methods

impl Isaac64Rng

pub fn new_unseeded() -> Isaac64Rng

Create a 64-bit ISAAC random number generator using the default fixed seed.

    Self: Sized, 

Return a random value of a Rand type.

Important traits for Generator<'a, T, R>

impl<'a, T: Rand, R: Rng> Iterator for Generator<'a, T, R> type Item = T;

fn gen_iter<'a, T: Rand>(&'a mut self) -> Generator<'a, T, Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Return an iterator that will yield an infinite number of randomly generated items.

fn gen_range<T: PartialOrd + SampleRange>(&mut self, low: T, high: T) -> T where
    Self: Sized, 

Generate a random value in the range [low, high).

fn gen_weighted_bool(&mut self, n: u32) -> bool where
    Self: Sized, 

Return a bool with a 1 in n chance of true

Important traits for AsciiGenerator<'a, R>

impl<'a, R: Rng> Iterator for AsciiGenerator<'a, R> type Item = char;

fn gen_ascii_chars<'a>(&'a mut self) -> AsciiGenerator<'a, Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Return an iterator of random characters from the set A-Z,a-z,0-9.

fn choose<'a, T>(&mut self, values: &'a [T]) -> Option<&'a T> where
    Self: Sized, 

Return a random element from values.

fn choose_mut<'a, T>(&mut self, values: &'a mut [T]) -> Option<&'a mut T> where
    Self: Sized, 

Return a mutable pointer to a random element from values.

fn shuffle<T>(&mut self, values: &mut [T]) where

impl<'a> SeedableRng<&'a [u64]> for Isaac64Rng

fn reseed(&mut self, seed: &'a [u64])

Reseed an RNG with the given seed.

fn from_seed(seed: &'a [u64]) -> Isaac64Rng

Create an ISAAC random number generator with a seed. This can be any length, although the maximum number of elements used is 256 and any more will be silently ignored. A generator constructed with a given seed will generate the same sequence of values as all other generators constructed with that seed.

impl Clone for Isaac64Rng

fn clone(&self) -> Isaac64Rng

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Isaac64Rng

impl Debug for Isaac64Rng

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
