This file may not be copied, modified, or distributed // except according to those terms. //! Utilities for random number generation //! //! The key functions are `random()` and `Rng::gen()`. These are polymorphic //! and so can be used to generate any type that implements `Rand`. Type inference //! means that often a simple call to `rand::random()` or `rng.gen()` will //! suffice, but sometimes an annotation is required, e.g. `rand::random::<f64>()`. //! //! See the `distributions` submodule for sampling random numbers from //! distributions like normal and exponential. //! //! # Thread-local RNG //! //! There is built-in support for a RNG associated with each thread stored //! in thread-local storage. This RNG can be accessed via `thread_rng`, or //! used implicitly via `random`. This RNG is normally randomly seeded //! from an operating-system source of randomness, e.g. `/dev/urandom` on //! Unix systems, and will automatically reseed itself from this source //! after generating 32 KiB of random data. //! //! # Cryptographic security //! //! An application that requires an entropy source for cryptographic purposes //! must use `OsRng`, which reads randomness from the source that the operating //! system provides (e.g. `/dev/urandom` on Unixes or `CryptGenRandom()` on Windows). //! The other random number generators provided by this module are not suitable //! for such purposes. //! //! *Note*: many Unix systems provide `/dev/random` as well as `/dev/urandom`. //! This module uses `/dev/urandom` for the following reasons: //! //! - On Linux, `/dev/random` may block if entropy pool is empty; //! `/dev/urandom` will not block. This does not mean that `/dev/random` //! provides better output than `/dev/urandom`; the kernel internally runs a //! cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) based on //! entropy pool for random number generation, so the "quality" of //! `/dev/random` is not better than `/dev/urandom` in most cases. However, //! this means that `/dev/urandom` can yield somewhat predictable randomness //! if the entropy pool is very small, such as immediately after first //! booting. Linux 3.17 added the `getrandom(2)` system call which solves //! the issue: it blocks if entropy pool is not initialized yet, but it does //! not block once initialized. `OsRng` tries to use `getrandom(2)` if //! available, and use `/dev/urandom` fallback if not. If an application //! does not have `getrandom` and likely to be run soon after first booting, //! or on a system with very few entropy sources, one should consider using //! `/dev/random` via `ReaderRng`. //! - On some systems (e.g. FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X) there is no //! difference between the two sources. (Also note that, on some systems //! e.g. FreeBSD, both `/dev/random` and `/dev/urandom` may block once if //! the CSPRNG has not seeded yet.) //! //! # Examples //! //! ```rust //! use rand::Rng; //! //! let mut rng = rand::thread_rng(); //! if rng.gen() { // random bool //! println!("i32: {}, u32: {}", rng.gen::<i32>(), rng.gen::<u32>()) //! } //! ``` //! //! ```rust //! let tuple = rand::random::<(f64, char)>(); //! println!("{:?}", tuple) //! ``` //! //! ## Monte Carlo estimation of π //! //! For this example, imagine we have a square with sides of length 2 and a unit //! circle, both centered at the origin. Since the area of a unit circle is π, //! we have: //! //! ```text //! (area of unit circle) / (area of square) = π / 4 //! ``` //! //! So if we sample many points randomly from the square, roughly π / 4 of them //! should be inside the circle. //! //! We can use the above fact to estimate the value of π: pick many points in //! the square at random, calculate the fraction that fall within the circle, //! and multiply this fraction by 4. //! //! ``` //! use rand::distributions::{IndependentSample, Range}; //! //! fn main() { //! let between = Range::new(-1f64, 1.); //! let mut rng = rand::thread_rng(); //! //! let total = 1_000_000; //! let mut in_circle = 0; //! //! for _ in 0..total { //! let a = between.ind_sample(&mut rng); //! let b = between.ind_sample(&mut rng); //! if a*a + b*b <= 1. { //! in_circle += 1; //! } //! } //! //! // prints something close to 3.14159... //! println!("{}", 4. * (in_circle as f64) / (total as f64)); //! } //! ``` //! //! ## Monty Hall Problem //! //! This is a simulation of the [Monty Hall Problem][]: //! //! > Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: //! > Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, //! > and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, //! > which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" //! > Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? //! //! The rather unintuitive answer is that you will have a 2/3 chance of winning //! if you switch and a 1/3 chance of winning if you don't, so it's better to //! switch. //! //! This program will simulate the game show and with large enough simulation //! steps it will indeed confirm that it is better to switch. //! //!
