Module flow_sdk::algorithms::rand::prelude [−][src]
Expand description
Convenience re-export of common members
Like the standard library’s prelude, this module simplifies importing of common items. Unlike the standard prelude, the contents of this module must be imported manually:
use rand::prelude::*;
Structs
An RNG recommended when small state, cheap initialization and good
performance are required. The PRNG algorithm in SmallRng
is chosen to be
efficient on the current platform, without consideration for cryptography
or security. The size of its state is much smaller than for StdRng
.
The standard RNG. The PRNG algorithm in StdRng
is chosen to be efficient
on the current platform, to be statistically strong and unpredictable
(meaning a cryptographically secure PRNG).
The type returned by thread_rng
, essentially just a reference to the
PRNG in thread-local memory.
Traits
A marker trait used to indicate that an RngCore
or BlockRngCore
implementation is supposed to be cryptographically secure.
Types (distributions) that can be used to create a random instance of T
.
A convenience extension to SeedableRng
allowing construction from fresh
entropy. This trait is automatically implemented for any PRNG implementing
SeedableRng
and is not intended to be implemented by users.
Extension trait on iterators, providing random sampling methods.
An automatically-implemented extension trait on RngCore
providing high-level
generic methods for sampling values and other convenience methods.
The core of a random number generator.
A random number generator that can be explicitly seeded.
Extension trait on slices, providing random mutation and sampling methods.
Functions
Generates a random value using the thread-local random number generator.
Retrieve the lazily-initialized thread-local random number generator,
seeded by the system. Intended to be used in method chaining style,
e.g. thread_rng().gen::<i32>()
, or cached locally, e.g.
let mut rng = thread_rng();
. Invoked by the Default
trait, making
ThreadRng::default()
equivelent.
