NAME

       Math::Random::OO::Uniform - Generates random numbers from the uniform distribution

VERSION

       version 0.22

SYNOPSIS

         use Math::Random::OO::Uniform;
         push @prngs,
             Math::Random::OO::Uniform->new(),     # range [0,1)
             Math::Random::OO::Uniform->new(5),    # range [0,5)
             Math::Random::OO::Uniform->new(-1,1); # range [-1,1)
         $_->seed(42) for @prngs;
         print( $_->next() . "\n" ) for @prngs;

DESCRIPTION

       This subclass of Math::Random::OO generates random reals from a uniform probability
       distribution.

METHODS

   "new"
        $prng1 = Math::Random::OO::Uniform->new();
        $prng2 = Math::Random::OO::Uniform->new($high);
        $prng3 = Math::Random::OO::Uniform->new($low,$high);

       "new" takes up to two optional parameters and returns a new "Math::Random::OO::Uniform"
       object.  With no parameters, the object generates random numbers in the range of zero
       (inclusive) to one (exclusive).  With a single parameter, the object generates random
       numbers from zero (inclusive) to the value of the parameter (exclusive).  Note, the object
       does this with multiplication, so if the parameter is negative, the function will return
       negative numbers.  This is a feature or bug, depending on your point of view.  With two
       parameters, the object generates random numbers from the first parameter (inclusive) to
       the second parameter (exclusive).  (Actually, as long as you have two parameters, "new"
       will put them in the right order).

   "seed"
        $rv = $prng->seed( @seeds );

       This method seeds the random number generator.  At the moment, only the first seed value
       matters.  It should be a positive integer.

   "next"
        $rnd = $prng->next();

       This method returns the next random number from the random number generator.  It does not
       take any parameters.
