Description

This module provides functions useful for implementing new MonadRandom and RandomSource instances for state-abstractions containing StdGen values (the pure pseudorandom generator provided by the System.Random module in the "random" package), as well as instances for some common cases.

Synopsis

Documentation

data StdGen #

The standard pseudo-random number generator.

mkStdGen :: Int -> StdGen #

Constructs a StdGen deterministically.

newStdGen :: MonadIO m => m StdGen #

Applies split to the current global pseudo-random generator, updates it with one of the results, and returns the other.

getRandomPrimFromRandomGenRef :: (Monad m, ModifyRef sr m g, RandomGen g) => sr -> Prim a -> m a Source #

Given a mutable reference to a RandomGen generator, we can make a RandomSource usable in any monad in which the reference can be modified.

getRandomPrimFromRandomGenState :: forall g m a. (RandomGen g, MonadState g m) => Prim a -> m a Source #

Similarly, getRandomWordFromRandomGenState x can be used in any "state" monad in the mtl sense whose state is a RandomGen generator. Additionally, the standard mtl state monads have MonadRandom instances which do precisely that, allowing an easy conversion of RVars and other Distribution instances to "pure" random variables.
