NAME

6       Lfrand - 'Lagged Fibonacci' random number generator
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This module implements a 'Lagged Fibonacci' pseudo-random number gener‐
10       ator. This type of RNG gives considerably better quality  numbers  than
11       the standard Builtins.rand (3kaya) function, and so is suitable for use
12       in simulations requiring a good degree of  randomness  (though  not  in
13       cryptography).
14
15       You  should  call  Lfrand.lfSrand  (3kaya) before using other functions
16       from this module.
