Module nannou::rand

Items related to randomness and random number generators. Also provides some high-level helper functions.

Helper functions include random_f32(), random_f64() and random_range(min, max).

Modules

• rand
  Utilities for random number generation

Structs

• Error
  Error type of random number generators

Traits

• CryptoRng
  A marker trait used to indicate that an RngCore or BlockRngCore implementation is supposed to be cryptographically secure.
• Fill
  Types which may be filled with random data
• Rng
  An automatically-implemented extension trait on RngCore providing high-level generic methods for sampling values and other convenience methods.
• RngCore
  The core of a random number generator.
• SeedableRng
  A random number generator that can be explicitly seeded.

Functions

• random
  Generates a random value using the thread-local random number generator.
• random_ascii
  Generates and returns a random ascii character.
• random_f32
  A wrapper function around the random function that avoids the need for specifying a type in the case that it cannot be inferred. The primary purpose for this is to simplify the random API for new rust users.
• random_f64
  A wrapper function around the random function that avoids the need for specifying a type in the case that it cannot be inferred. The primary purpose for this is to simplify the random API for new rust users.
• random_range
  A function for generating a random value within the given range.
• thread_rng
  Retrieve the lazily-initialized thread-local random number generator, seeded by the system. Intended to be used in method chaining style, e.g. thread_rng().gen::<i32>(), or cached locally, e.g. let mut rng = thread_rng();. Invoked by the Default trait, making ThreadRng::default() equivalent.
