Initialization + The initialization scheme for the previous versions of MT +(e.g. 1999/10/28 version or earlier) has a tiny problem, that +the most significant bits of the seed is not well reflected +to the state vector of MT. + +This version (2002/1/26) has two initialization schemes: +init_genrand(seed) and init_by_array(init_key, key_length). + +init_genrand(seed) initializes the state vector by using +one unsigned 32-bit integer "seed", which may be zero. + +init_by_array(init_key, key_length) initializes the state vector +by using an array init_key[] of unsigned 32-bit integers +of length key_kength. If key_length is smaller than 624, +then each array of 32-bit integers gives distinct initial +state vector. This is useful if you want a larger seed space +than 32-bit word. + +2. Generation +After initialization, the following type of pseudorandom numbers +are available. + +genrand_int32() generates unsigned 32-bit integers. +genrand_int31() generates unsigned 31-bit integers. +genrand_real1() generates uniform real in [0,1] (32-bit resolution). +genrand_real2() generates uniform real in [0,1) (32-bit resolution). +genrand_real3() generates uniform real in (0,1) (32-bit resolution). +genrand_res53() generates uniform real in [0,1) with 53-bit resolution. + +Note: the last five functions call the first one. +if you need more speed for these five functions, you may +suppress the function call by copying genrand_int32() and +replacing the last return(), following to these five functions. + +3. main() +main() is an example to initialize with an array of length 4, +then 1000 outputs of unsigned 32-bit integers, +then 1000 outputs of real [0,1) numbers. + +4.
