/**
 * This class generates pseudorandom numbers.  It uses the same
 * algorithm as the original JDK-class, so that your programs behave
 * exactly the same way, if started with the same seed.
 *
 * The algorithm is described in <em>The Art of Computer Programming,
 * Volume 2</em> by Donald Knuth in Section 3.2.1.  It is a 48-bit seed,
 * linear congruential formula.
 *
 * If two instances of this class are created with the same seed and
 * the same calls to these classes are made, they behave exactly the
 * same way.  This should be even true for foreign implementations
 * (like this), so every port must use the same algorithm as described
 * here.
 *
 * If you want to implement your own pseudorandom algorithm, you
 * should extend this class and overload the <code>next()</code> and
 * <code>setSeed(long)</code> method.  In that case the above
 * paragraph doesn't apply to you.
 *
 * This class shouldn't be used for security sensitive purposes (like
 * generating passwords or encryption keys.  See <code>SecureRandom</code>
 * in package <code>java.security</code> for this purpose.
 *
 * For simple random doubles between 0.0 and 1.0, you may consider using
 * Math.random instead.
