This file provides functions for generating random numbers within the C3E library. It includes utilities for generating random numbers with varying characteristics, including pseudorandom values and numbers within a specified range.

Function Documentation

c3e_random()

c3e_number c3e_random

(

)

This function produces a random floating-point number from /dev/urandom. The number generated is uniformly distributed within this range.

Returns

A random number in the range [0.0, 1.0).

c3e_random_bound()

c3e_number c3e_random_bound	(	c3e_number	min,
		c3e_number	max
	)

This function generates a random floating-point number between min and max. The generated number is uniformly distributed within the specified range.

Parameters

min	The lower bound of the range (inclusive).
max	The upper bound of the range (inclusive).

Returns

A random number within the range [min, max].

c3e_random_pseudo()

c3e_number c3e_random_pseudo

(

)

This function produces a pseudorandom floating-point number between 0.0 and 1.0. Unlike c3e_random(), this function may use a different algorithm or seed for generating pseudorandom numbers, providing a potentially different distribution or pattern of randomness.

Returns

A pseudorandom number in the range [0.0, 1.0).
