Syntax

public sealed class Pcg32 : IRng

Remarks

Permuted Congruential Generator with 64-bit state, internal Linear Congruential Generator, and 32-bit output via "xorshift high (bits), random rotation" output function. This is a 64-bit LCG with explicitly chosen stream with the PCG-XSH-RR output function. This combination is the standard pcg32. Despite the name, this implementation uses 16 bytes (128 bit) space comprising 64 bits of state and a 64 bit stream selector. These are both set by Pcg32.Factory, using a 127-bit seed.

Methods

Name	Return Value	Summary
Create(ulong, ulong)	Pcg32	Creates a new `Pcg32` instance, treating state and stream the same way as the reference implementation of PCG. static
Fill(Span<byte>)	void	Completely fills the span with random bytes.
GetFactory()	Pcg32.Factory	Gets the `XorShift` factory. static
NextUInt32()	uint	Returns the next 32 bits in the sequence as a UInt32.
NextUInt64()	ulong	Returns the next 64 bits in the sequence as a UInt64.

Extension Methods

Name	Value	Summary
ShuffleInPlace<Pcg32, T>(IList<T>)	void	Shuffles a list using the in-place Fisher-Yates shuffling algorithm. From RngExtensions
