# WICHMANN-HILL RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR
#
# Wichmann, B. A. & Hill, I. D. (1982)
# Algorithm AS 183:
# An efficient and portable pseudo-random number generator
# Applied Statistics 31 (1982) 188-190
#
# see also:
# Correction to Algorithm AS 183
# Applied Statistics 33 (1984) 123
#
# McLeod, A. I. (1985)
# A remark on Algorithm AS 183
# Applied Statistics 34 (1985),198-200
#
#
# USE:
# whrandom.random() yields double precision random numbers
# uniformly distributed between 0 and 1.
#
# whrandom.seed(x, y, z) must be called before whrandom.random()
# to seed the generator
#
# There is also an interface to create multiple independent
# random generators, and to choose from other ranges.
# Translated by Guido van Rossum from C source provided by
# Adrian Baddeley.
# Multi-threading note: the random number generator used here is not
# thread-safe; it is possible that nearly simultaneous calls in
# different theads return the same random value. To avoid this, you
# have to use a lock around all calls. (I didn't want to slow this
# down in the serial case by using a lock here.)
