|
|
|
<p>Rand provides utilities to generate random numbers, to convert them to
|
|
|
useful types and distributions, and some randomness-related algorithms.</p>
|
|
|
<h1 id="quick-start" class="section-header"><a href="#quick-start">Quick Start</a></h1>
|
|
|
<p>To get you started quickly, the easiest and highest-level way to get
|
|
|
a random value is to use [<code>random()</code>]; alternatively you can use
|
|
|
[<code>thread_rng()</code>]. The [<code>Rng</code>] trait provides a useful API on all RNGs, while
|
|
|
the [<code>distributions</code>] and [<code>seq</code>] modules provide further
|
|
|
functionality on top of RNGs.</p>
