TT800(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Math::Random::TT800 — Matsumoto's TT800 Pseudorandom number generator 🎲✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, this perl extension module implements M. Matsumoto's twisted generalized shift register generator called TT800, exactly as described in his article published in ACM Transactions on Modelling and Computer Simulation, Vol. 4, No. 3, 1994, pages 254-266. iykyk 📚💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

        use Math::Random::TT800;

        my $tt = new Math::Random::TT800;

        $value = $tt->next();

        $ivalue = $tt->next_int();

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

🎀 new

        my $tt = new Math::Random::TT800;
        my $tt = new Math::Random::TT800 @seeds;

Create a new TT800 object 🫶. Providing seeds is optional — no pressure, she's flexible. A TT800 takes 25 integers as seed which must not be all zero 💀 (like, do NOT do that). If less than 25 integers are supplied, the rest are taken from the default seed. so it just fills in the blanks for you, slay 🌈

🧚 next

        $value = $tt->next();

next returns the next pseudorandom number from the TT800 object as a floating point value in the range [0,1). so like, zero is invited to the party but one absolutely is not 🙈🍓

⭐ next_int

        $ivalue = $tt->next_int();

next_int returns a integer value filled with 32 random bits 🔥 that's a whole lotta randomness bestie, 32 of them fr fr 👑
