  Random () ;

  Constructor with default seed.

  Random (int) ;

  Constructor with given seed.
  The argument is the new seed, an integer in the range [0, 1000000000].

  void gauss (double&,double&) ;

  Gaussian distribution.
  Return two real Gaussian pseudo-random numbers with unit standard deviation. The values are placed in the two arguments.

  void init55 (int) ;

  Initialise random number generator.

  int integer () ;

  Uniform distribution.
  Return an integer pseudo-random number in the range [0,1000000000).

  void reseed (int) ;

  Set a new seed.
  The argument is the new seed, an integer in the range [0, 1000000000].

  double uniform () ;

  Uniform distribution.
  Return a real pseudo-random number in the range [0,1).
