This project is part of the @thi.ng/umbrella monorepo.

About

Pseudo-random number generators w/ unified API.

This package provides the IRandom interface and various (mostly seedable) pseudo-random number generator implementations, incl. a IRandom wrapper for Math.random():

Partially ported from C implementations taken from c.thi.ng.

Status

STABLE - used in production

Installation

yarn add @thi.ng/random

API

Generated API docs

import { Smush32 } from "@thi.ng/random";

const rnd = new Smush32(0xdecafbad);

// the following methods are available for all generators

// next uint (0 .. 2^32-1)
rnd.int()
// 4022849029

// next float [0.0 .. 1.0)
rnd.float()
// 0.2698542904737066

// next normalized float (w/ opt scale)
// [-scale .. +scale)
rnd.norm(100)
// 57.70723665079737

// next float in given interval [min .. max)
rnd.minmax(10, 20)
// 15.295951807707537

// next gaussian (using iterative CLT approach)
// optional params: num samples, offset, scale
rnd.gaussian()
// 0.10632886109089679
