Detailed Description

Pseudorandom number generation and sampling module.

Function Documentation

sample_uniform()

template<typename Vector >

Vector& chebyshev::random::sample_uniform ( Vector &  x, const std::vector< prec::interval >  intervals  )

inline

Fill an already allocated vector with uniformly distributed numbers over different intervals.

Parameters

x	The already initialized vector to fill.
intervals	The intervals to generate over.

Returns

A reference to the overwritten vector.

string() [1/4]

std::string chebyshev::random::string ( size_t  length )

inline

Generate a random string made of human-readable ASCII characters.

Parameters

length

The length of the string to generate

Returns

A string generated by choosing the elements of the alphabet with uniform probability.

string() [2/4]

std::string chebyshev::random::string ( size_t  length, std::string  alphabet  )

inline

Generate a random string made of the elements of the given alphabet.

Parameters

length	The length of the string to generate
alphabet	A string containing the elements of the alphabet.

Returns

A string generated by choosing the elements of the alphabet with uniform probability.

string() [3/4]

std::string chebyshev::random::string ( size_t  length, std::vector< char >  alphabet  )

inline

Generate a random string made of the elements of the given alphabet.

Parameters

length	The length of the string to generate.
alphabet	A vector containing the elements of the alphabet.

Returns

A string generated by choosing the elements of the alphabet with uniform probability.

string() [4/4]

template<typename T >

std::vector<T> chebyshev::random::string ( size_t  length, std::vector< T >  alphabet  )

inline

Generate a random string made of the elements of the given alphabet, of arbitrary type.

Parameters

length

The length of the string to generate

Returns

A vector generated by choosing the elements of the alphabet with uniform probability.

uniform()

long double chebyshev::random::uniform ( long double  a, long double  b  )

inline

Generate a uniformly distributed random number.

Parameters

a	The lower extreme of the interval
b	The upper extreme of the interval

Returns

A pseudorandom number uniformly distributed over (a, b).
