Overview

Package rand implements pseudo-random number generators.

Random numbers are generated by a Source. Top-level functions, such as Float64 and Int, use a default shared Source that produces a deterministic sequence of values each time a program is run. Use the Seed function to initialize the default Source if different behavior is required for each run. The default Source is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.

Functions

func ExpFloat64

func ExpFloat64() float64

ExpFloat64 returns an exponentially distributed float64 in the range (0, +math.MaxFloat64] with an exponential distribution whose rate parameter (lambda) is 1 and whose mean is 1/lambda (1) from the default Source. To produce a distribution with a different rate parameter, callers can adjust the output using:

sample = ExpFloat64() / desiredRateParameter

func Float32

func Float32() float32

Float32 returns, as a float32, a pseudo-random number in [0.0,1.0) from the default Source.

func Float64

func Float64() float64

Float64 returns, as a float64, a pseudo-random number in [0.0,1.0) from the default Source.

func Int

func Int() int

Int returns a non-negative pseudo-random int from the default Source.

func Int31

func Int31() int32

Int31 returns a non-negative pseudo-random 31-bit integer as an int32 from the default Source.

func Int31n

func Int31n(n int32) int32

Int31n returns, as an int32, a non-negative pseudo-random number in [0,n) from the default Source. It panics if n <= 0.

func Int63

func Int63() int64

Int63 returns a non-negative pseudo-random 63-bit integer as an int64 from the default Source.

func Int63n

func Int63n(n int64) int64

Int63n returns, as an int64, a non-negative pseudo-random number in [0,n) from the default Source. It panics if n <= 0.

func Intn

func Intn(n int) int

Intn returns, as an int, a non-negative pseudo-random number in [0,n) from the default Source. It panics if n <= 0.

func NormFloat64

func NormFloat64() float64

NormFloat64 returns a normally distributed float64 in the range [-math.MaxFloat64, +math.MaxFloat64] with standard normal distribution (mean = 0, stddev = 1) from the default Source. To produce a different normal distribution, callers can adjust the output using:

sample = NormFloat64() * desiredStdDev + desiredMean

func Perm

func Perm(n int) []int

Perm returns, as a slice of n ints, a pseudo-random permutation of the integers [0,n) from the default Source.

func Seed

func Seed(seed int64)

Seed uses the provided seed value to initialize the default Source to a deterministic state. If Seed is not called, the generator behaves as if seeded by Seed(1).

func Uint32

func Uint32() uint32

Uint32 returns a pseudo-random 32-bit value as a uint32 from the default Source.

Types
