ReUnirand

A C++ implementation of Marsaglia's Universal Random Number Generator

This program is based on "Toward a universal random number generator" by George Marsaglia, Arif Zaman, Wai Wan Tsang published in Statistics & Probability Letters Volume 9, Issue 1, January 1990, Pages 35-39 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/016771529090092L?via%3Dihub

Building

git clone https://git.redacted.cc/rich/ReUnirand.git
cd ReUnirand
mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make
./ReUnirand-Test

Using

rng.rinit(170); // seed value must be in range 0 to 900000000
float randomNumber = rng.uni();

Test Program

The test program will out put a single test value from a seed of 170 which should give a value of 0.687533

It then outputs a list of 128 random numbers from that seed.
