Class Description


 TRandom2

 Random number generator class based on the maximally quidistributed combined
 Tausworthe generator by L'Ecuyer.

 The period of the generator is 2**88 (about 10**26) and it uses only 3 words
 for the state.

 For more information see:
 P. L'Ecuyer, Mathematics of Computation, 65, 213 (1996)
 P. L'Ecuyer, Mathematics of Computation, 68, 225 (1999)

Double_t Rndm(Int_t)
  TausWorth generator from L'Ecuyer, uses as seed 3x32bits integers
  Use a mask of 0xffffffffUL to make in work on 64 bit machines
  Periodicity of about  10**26
void RndmArray(Int_t n, Float_t *array)
 Return an array of n random numbers uniformly distributed in ]0,1]
void RndmArray(Int_t n, Double_t *array)
 Return an array of n random numbers uniformly distributed in ]0,1]
void SetSeed(UInt_t seed)
 Set the generator seed.
 If the seed given is zero, generate automatically seed values which
 are different every time by using TRandom3  and TUUID
 If a seed is given generate the other two needed for the generator state using
 a linear congruential generator
 The only condition, stated at the end of the 1999 L'Ecuyer paper is that the seeds
 must be greater than 1,7 and 15.
TRandom2(UInt_t seed=1)
