Struct flow_sdk::algorithms::secp256k1::rand::distributions::Exp1

pub struct Exp1;

Samples floating-point numbers according to the exponential distribution, with rate parameter λ = 1. This is equivalent to Exp::new(1.0) or sampling with -rng.gen::<f64>().ln(), but faster.

See Exp for the general exponential distribution.

Implemented via the ZIGNOR variant¹ of the Ziggurat method. The exact description in the paper was adjusted to use tables for the exponential distribution rather than normal.

Example

use rand::prelude::*;
use rand::distributions::Exp1;

let val: f64 = SmallRng::from_entropy().sample(Exp1);
println!("{}", val);
