Class: XORShift32

XORShift32(seed)

XORShift32 Pseudorandom Number Generator Class

Constructor

new XORShift32(seed)

Implements the XORShift32 algorithm to generate pseudorandom numbers.

This class provides the XORShift32 method of generating psuedorandom numbers to the PRNG class. It uses bitwise operations to generate a sequence of pseudorandom 32-bit unsigned integers.

The XORShift algorithm was written by George Marsaglia in 2003 and is released to the public domain, meaning it can be freely used, modified, and distributed without restrictions.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
seed number

The seed value for the PRNG.
