Random Numbers in Fortress
Based on the provided input, here’s the translation of the Go code to Java, along with the explanation in Markdown format suitable for Hugo:
Our first example demonstrates how to generate random numbers in Java. Here’s the full source code:
To run the program, compile and execute it using the javac
and java
commands:
Some of the generated numbers may be different when you run the sample.
Java’s java.util.Random
class provides pseudorandom number generation. The Random
class uses a 48-bit seed, which is modified using a linear congruential formula.
If you need more control over the random number generation process or require better statistical properties, you might want to look into the java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom
class for multi-threaded applications or the java.security.SecureRandom
class for cryptographically strong random numbers.
See the Java API documentation for references on other random quantities that Java can provide.
