Struct rand::StdRng

pub struct StdRng { /* fields omitted */ }

The standard RNG. This is designed to be efficient on the current platform.

Implementations

impl StdRng

pub fn new() -> Result<StdRng>

Create a randomly seeded instance of StdRng.

This is a very expensive operation as it has to read randomness from the operating system and use this in an expensive seeding operation. If one is only generating a small number of random numbers, or doesn’t need the utmost speed for generating each number, thread_rng and/or random may be more appropriate.

Reading the randomness from the OS may fail, and any error is propagated via the io::Result return value.
