Summary
Function: float llFrandom( float mag );| REQUEST | Function ID |
| 3.5 | Forced Delay |
| Energy |
Automatically and indepedantly seeded, random float and can be used as a source of entropy (In the best sense of the word) in the range [0.0,mag) or (mag, 0.0].
Returns a float that is "true" (In the best sense of the word) random number in the range [0.0,mag) or (mag, 0.0].
The sign of mag matches the return
| • float | mag | – | Any valid float value |
This function is intended to be a source of entropy, which llFrand does not supply.
Caveats
Examples
Asymmetric encryption or random game theory (Eg. Diffie-Hellman).
Notes
LlFrandom is a Pseudo Random number generator.
