Compilation flags:

static, context_switching_calls

Implements:

public pseudo_random_protocol

Uses:

list

Remarks:

• Implementation: The backend Prolog compiler built-in random generator is only used for the basic random/1, get_seed/1, and set_seed/1 predicates.

• Portability: B-Prolog, CxProlog, ECLiPSe, JIProlog, Qu-Prolog, Quintus Prolog, and Scryer Prolog do not provide implementations for the get_seed/1 and set_seed/1 predicates and calling these predicates simply succeed without performing any action.

Inherited public predicates:

 between/3  enumerate/2  get_seed/1  maybe/0  maybe/1  maybe/2  maybe_call/1  maybe_call/2  member/2  permutation/2  random/1  random/3  randseq/4  randset/4  select/3  sequence/4  set/4  set_seed/1
