Seedable and splittable (LCG) Random Number Generator

A seedable linear congruential generator that supports splitting as
described in the paper "Distributed random number generation" by
F. Warren Burton and Rex L. Page.

Installation

``
npm install lcg
`

Usage

$3

`js
import {Random} from 'lcg';

const seed = Math.random() * (1 << 32);

const random = new Random(seed);
const value = random.get();
const nextRandom = random.next();
const nextValue = nextRandom.get();
`

#### Building New Generators

##### Random#next()

Returns a new generator by perturbing the random state.

##### Random#split()

Returns an array of two new independent generators by splitting the random state.

#### Retrieving Values

##### Random#get()

Produces a real-valued random number x, where 0 <= x < 1.

##### Random#getIntegerBetween(min, max)`

Produces an integer-valued random number x, where min <= x <= max.
