virtual double TRITONAPI GetRandomDouble (double start, double end) const =0
 Return an evenly distributed random double-precision number within a given range.
 
virtual int TRITONAPI GetRandomInt (int start, int end) const =0
 Return an evenly distributed random integer within a given range.
 
virtual void TRITONAPI SetRandomSeed (unsigned int seed)=0
 Seeds the random number generator with a given value, to ensure consistent results.
 

Detailed Description

An interface for generating random numbers in Triton.

Subclass this interface and pass an instance to Environment::SetRandomNumberGenerator in order to override Triton's default usage of rand(). This may be useful for enforcing deterministic behavior across several channels.

◆ GetRandomDouble()

virtual double TRITONAPI Triton::RandomNumberGenerator::GetRandomDouble ( double  start,
double  end 
) const
pure virtual

Return an evenly distributed random double-precision number within a given range.

Parameters
startThe lowest value in the range
endThe highest value in the range
Returns
An evenly distributed random number within the range.

◆ GetRandomInt()

virtual int TRITONAPI Triton::RandomNumberGenerator::GetRandomInt ( int  start,
int  end 
) const
pure virtual

Return an evenly distributed random integer within a given range.

Parameters
startThe lowest value in the range
endThe highest value in the range
Returns
An evenly distributed random number within the range.

◆ SetRandomSeed()

virtual void TRITONAPI Triton::RandomNumberGenerator::SetRandomSeed ( unsigned int  seed)
pure virtual

Seeds the random number generator with a given value, to ensure consistent results.

Parameters
seedA value used to seed the random number generator's sequence of psuedo-random numbers.
