      public class Well512a
      extends AbstractWell

  This class implements the WELL512a pseudo-random number generator from François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto.

  This generator is described in a paper by François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto Improved Long-Period Generators Based on Linear Recurrences Modulo 2 ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 32, 1 (2006). The errata for the paper are in wellrng-errata.txt.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Well512a

          public Well512a()

      Creates a new random number generator.

      The instance is initialized using the current time as the seed.

    - #### Well512a

          public Well512a(int seed)

      Creates a new random number generator using a single int seed.
      Parameters:
        `seed` - the initial seed (32 bits integer)

    - #### Well512a

          public Well512a(int[] seed)

      Creates a new random number generator using an int array seed.
      Parameters:
        `seed` - the initial seed (32 bits integers array), if null the seed of the generator will be related to the current time

    - #### Well512a

          public Well512a(long seed)

      Creates a new random number generator using a single long seed.
      Parameters:
        `seed` - the initial seed (64 bits integer)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### next

          protected int next(int bits)

      Generate next pseudorandom number.

      This method is the core generation algorithm. It is used by all the public generation methods for the various primitive types `BitsStreamGenerator.nextBoolean()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextBytes(byte[])`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextDouble()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextFloat()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextGaussian()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.nextInt()`, `BitsStreamGenerator.next(int)` and `BitsStreamGenerator.nextLong()`.

      Specified by:
        `next` in class `AbstractWell`
      Parameters:
        `bits` - number of random bits to produce
      Returns:
        random bits generated
