      implements
      
        RandomGenerator
      
  
  
| java.util.random.RandomGenerator.StreamableGenerator | 
The StreamableGenerator interface augments the
 RandomGenerator interface to provide methods that return streams
 of RandomGenerator objects. Ideally, such a stream of objects
 would have the property that the behavior of each object is statistically
 independent of all the others. In practice, one may have to settle for
 some approximation to this property.
 
 A generator that implements interface SplittableGenerator may
 choose to use its splits() method to
 implement the rngs() method required by this
 interface.
 
 A generator that implements interface JumpableGenerator may
 choose to use its jumps() method to implement the
 rngs() method required by this interface.
 
 A generator that implements interface LeapableGenerator may
 choose to use its leaps() method to
 implement the rngs() method required by this
 interface.
 
 Objects that implement StreamableGenerator are typically not
 cryptographically secure. Consider instead using SecureRandom to
 get a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator for use by
 security-sensitive applications.

Public methods
of
public static RandomGenerator.StreamableGenerator of (String name)
Returns an instance of StreamableGenerator that utilizes the
 name algorithm.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| name | String: Name of random number generator
              algorithm | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| RandomGenerator.StreamableGenerator | An instance of StreamableGenerator | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| NullPointerException | if name is null | 
| IllegalArgumentException | if the named algorithm is not found | 
rngs
public Stream<RandomGenerator> rngs (long streamSize)
Returns an effectively unlimited stream of objects, each of which
 implements the RandomGenerator interface. Ideally the
 generators in the stream will appear to be statistically independent.
 The new generators are of the same
 algorithm as this generator.
Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation calls rngs() and then limits its length tostreamSize.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| streamSize | long: the number of generators to generate | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Stream<RandomGenerator> | a stream of objects that implement the RandomGeneratorinterface | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| IllegalArgumentException | if streamSizeis
         less than zero | 
rngs
public abstract Stream<RandomGenerator> rngs ()
Returns an effectively unlimited stream of objects, each of which
 implements the RandomGenerator interface. Ideally the
 generators in the stream will appear to be statistically independent.
 The new generators are of the same
 algorithm as this generator.
Implementation Note:
- It is permitted to implement this method in a manner
           equivalent to rngs(Long.MAX_VALUE).
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Stream<RandomGenerator> | a stream of objects that implement the RandomGeneratorinterface |
