Field Detail

name

protected final String name

The canonical name prefix of the PRNG algorithm.

initialised

protected boolean initialised

Indicate if this instance has already been initialised or not.

Constructor Detail

BasePRNGStandalone

protected BasePRNGStandalone(String name)

Trivial constructor for use by concrete subclasses.

Parameters:

name - the canonical name of this instance.

Method Detail

name

public String name()

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Returns the canonical name of this instance.

Specified by:

name in interface IRandomStandalone

Returns:

the canonical name of this instance.

init

public void init(Map attributes)

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Initialises the pseudo-random number generator scheme with the appropriate attributes.

Specified by:

init in interface IRandomStandalone

Parameters:

attributes - a set of name-value pairs that describe the desired future instance behaviour.

nextByte

public byte nextByte()
              throws IllegalStateException

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Returns the next 8 bits of random data generated from this instance.

Specified by:

nextByte in interface IRandomStandalone

Returns:

the next 8 bits of random data generated from this instance.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the instance is not yet initialised.

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] out)
               throws IllegalStateException

Throws:

IllegalStateException

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] out,
                      int offset,
                      int length)
               throws IllegalStateException

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Fills the designated byte array, starting from byte at index offset, for a maximum of length bytes with the output of this generator instance.

Specified by:

nextBytes in interface IRandomStandalone

Parameters:

out - the placeholder to contain the generated random bytes.

offset - the starting index in out to consider. This method does nothing if this parameter is not within 0 and out.length.

length - the maximum number of required random bytes. This method does nothing if this parameter is less than 1.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the instance is not yet initialised.

addRandomByte

public void addRandomByte(byte b)

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Supplement, or possibly replace, the random state of this PRNG with a random byte.

Implementations are not required to implement this method in any meaningful way; this may be a no-operation, and implementations may throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

addRandomByte in interface IRandomStandalone

Parameters:

b - The byte to add.

addRandomBytes

public void addRandomBytes(byte[] buffer)

Description copied from interface: IRandomStandalone

Supplement, or possibly replace, the random state of this PRNG with a sequence of new random bytes.
