method

new

Importance_1
new(p1 = v1) public

Creates new Mersenne Twister based pseudorandom number generator with seed. When the argument seed is omitted, the generator is initialized with Random.new_seed.

The argument seed is used to ensure repeatable sequences of random numbers between different runs of the program.

prng = Random.new(1234)
[ prng.rand, prng.rand ]   #=> [0.191519450378892, 0.622108771039832]
[ prng.integer(10), prng.integer(1000) ]  #=> [4, 664]
prng = Random.new(1234)
[ prng.rand, prng.rand ]   #=> [0.191519450378892, 0.622108771039832]
