Class Debug.Random

    java.lang.Object
      java.util.Random
          weka.core.Debug.Random

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, RevisionHandler

Enclosing class:
  Debug

    public static class Debug.Random

extends java.util.Random
implements java.io.Serializable, RevisionHandler

This extended Random class enables one to print the generated random numbers etc., before they are returned. It can either use stdout (default) for outputting the logging information or a Log object (level is then INFO).

Constructor Summary
`Debug.Random()` Creates a new random number generator.
`Debug.Random(boolean debug)` Creates a new random number generator.
`Debug.Random(long seed)` Creates a new random number generator using a single long seed.
`Debug.Random(long seed, boolean debug)` Creates a new random number generator using a single long seed.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `getDebug()` returns whether to print the generated random values or not
`long` | `getID()` returns the unique ID of this number generator
`Debug.Log` | `getLog()` the currently used log, if null then stdout is used for outputting the debugging information
`java.lang.String` | `getRevision()` Returns the revision string.
`boolean` | `nextBoolean()` Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence.
`void` | `nextBytes(byte[] bytes)` Generates random bytes and places them into a user-supplied byte array.
`double` | `nextDouble()` Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.
`float` | `nextFloat()` Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.
`double` | `nextGaussian()` Returns the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.
`int` | `nextInt()` Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value from this random number generator's sequence.
`int` | `nextInt(int n)` Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive), drawn from this random number generator's sequence.
`long` | `nextLong()` Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed long value from this random number generator's sequence.
`void` | `printStackTrace()` prints the current stacktrace
`void` | `setDebug(boolean value)` sets whether to print the generated random values or not
`void` | `setLog(Debug.Log value)` the log to use, if it is null then stdout is used
`void` | `setSeed(long seed)` Sets the seed of this random number generator using a single long seed.
`java.lang.String` | `toString()` returns a string representation of this number generator
