Detailed Description

Pseudo random number generator.

Function Documentation

◆ Chance16()

bool Chance16	(	const uint32_t	a,
		const uint32_t	b,
		const std::source_location	location = `std::source_location::current()`
	)

inline

Flips a coin with given probability.

This function returns true with (a/b) probability.

See also: Chance16I()

Parameters

a	The nominator of the fraction
b	The denominator of the fraction

Returns: True with (a/b) probability

Definition at line 134 of file random_func.hpp.

◆ Chance16I()

bool Chance16I	(	const uint32_t	a,
		const uint32_t	b,
		const uint32_t	r
	)

inline

Checks if a given randomize-number is below a given probability.

This function is used to check if the given probability by the fraction of (a/b) is greater than low 16 bits of the given randomize-number r.

Do not use this function twice on the same random 16 bits as it will yield the same result. One can use a random number for two calls to Chance16I, where one call sends the low 16 bits and the other the high 16 bits.

Parameters

a	The numerator of the fraction
b	The denominator of the fraction, must of course not be null
r	The given randomize-number

Returns: True if the probability given by r is less or equal to (a/b)

◆ Chance16R()

bool Chance16R	(	const uint32_t	a,
		const uint32_t	b,
		uint32_t &	r,
		const std::source_location	location = `std::source_location::current()`
	)

inline

Flips a coin with a given probability and saves the randomize-number in a variable.

This function uses the same parameters as Chance16. The third parameter must be a variable the randomize-number from Random() is saved in.

The low 16 bits of r will already be used and can therefore not be passed to Chance16I. One can only send the high 16 bits to Chance16I.

See also: Chance16I()

Parameters

a	The numerator of the fraction
b	The denominator of the fraction
r	The variable to save the randomize-number from Random()

Returns: True in (a/b) percent

◆ InteractiveRandom()

uint32_t InteractiveRandom ( )

inline

Definition at line 93 of file random_func.hpp.

◆ InteractiveRandomRange()

uint32_t InteractiveRandomRange ( uint32_t limit )

inline

Definition at line 98 of file random_func.hpp.

◆ Random()

uint32_t Random ( const std::source_location location = std::source_location::current() )

inline

Definition at line 75 of file random_func.hpp.

◆ RandomBytesWithFallback()

void RandomBytesWithFallback ( std::span< uint8_t > buf )

Fill the given buffer with random bytes.

This function will attempt to use a cryptographically-strong random generator, but will fall back to a weaker random generator if none is available.

In the end, the buffer will always be filled with some form of random bytes when this function returns.

Parameters

buf	The buffer to fill with random bytes.

◆ RandomRange()

uint32_t RandomRange	(	uint32_t	limit,
		const std::source_location	location = `std::source_location::current()`
	)

inline

Pick a random number between 0 and limit - 1, inclusive.

That means 0 can be returned and limit - 1 can be returned, but limit can not be returned.

Parameters

limit Limit for the range to be picked from.

Returns: A random number in [0,limit).
