NAME
Math::Random::ISAAC::XS - C implementation of the ISAAC PRNG algorithm
VERSION
version 1.004
SYNOPSIS
This module implements the same interface as "Math::Random::ISAAC" and can be used as a drop-in replacement. This is the recommended implementation of the module, based on Bob Jenkins' reference implementation in C. Selecting the backend to use manually really only has two uses: • If you are trying to avoid the small overhead incurred with dispatching method calls to the appropriate backend modules. • If you are testing the module for performance and wish to explicitly decide which module you would like to use. Example code: # With Math::Random::ISAAC my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC->new(time); my $rand = $rng->rand(); # With Math::Random::ISAAC::XS my $rng = Math::Random::ISAAC::XS->new(time); my $rand = $rng->rand();
DESCRIPTION
See Math::Random::ISAAC for the full description.
METHODS
new Math::Random::ISAAC::XS->new( @seeds ) Implements the interface as specified in "Math::Random::ISAAC" rand $rng->rand() Implements the interface as specified in "Math::Random::ISAAC" irand $rng->irand() Implements the interface as specified in "Math::Random::ISAAC"
