JavaScript implementation of the XORSHIFT-ADD (XSadd) pseudo random number generator
JavaScript implementation of the XORSHIFT-ADD (XSadd) pseudo random number generator
Based on the C code from https://github.com/MersenneTwister-Lab/XSadd
$ npm install ml-xsadd
Creates a new XSadd instance. Seed is an optional integer that defaults to Date.now()
.
Returns a 32-bit integer r (0 <= r < 2^32)
Returns a floating point number r (0.0 <= r < 1.0)
Like getFloat()
but dynamically bound to the XSadd
instance.
You can use this function externally, like Math.random
:
var XSadd = new XSadd();
var random = xsadd.random;
var number = random();
