/**
* The {@link RandomGenerator} interface is designed to provide a common protocol for objects that
* generate random or (more typically) pseudorandom sequences of numbers (or Boolean values).
* Such a sequence may be obtained by either repeatedly invoking a method that returns a single
* (pseudo)randomly chosen value, or by invoking a method that returns a stream of (pseudo)randomly
* chosen values.
* <p>
* Ideally, given an implicitly or explicitly specified range of values, each value would be chosen
* independently and uniformly from that range. In practice, one may have to settle for some
* approximation to independence and uniformity.
* <p>
* In the case of {@code int}, {@code long}, and {@link Boolean} values, if there is no explicit
* specification of range, then the range includes all possible values of the type. In the case of
* {@code float} and {@code double} values, a value is always chosen from the set of
* 2<sup><i>w</i></sup> values between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive), where <i>w</i> is 23 for
* {@code float} values and 52 for {@code double} values, such that adjacent values differ by
* 2<sup>−<i>w</i></sup>; if an explicit range is specified, then the chosen number is
* computationally scaled and translated so as to appear to have been chosen from that range.
* <p>
* Each method that returns a stream produces a stream of values each of which is chosen in the same
* manner as for a method that returns a single (pseudo)randomly chosen value. For example, if
* {@code r} implements {@link RandomGenerator}, then the method call {@code r.ints(100)} returns a
* stream of 100 {@code int} values. These are not necessarily the exact same values that would
* have been returned if instead {@code r.nextInt()} had been called 100 times; all that is
* guaranteed is that each value in the stream is chosen in a similar (pseudo)random manner from the
* same range.
* <p>
* Every object that implements the {@link RandomNumberGenerator} interface by using a
* pseudorandom algorithm is assumed to contain a finite amount of state. Using such an object to
* generate a pseudorandomly chosen value alters its state by computing a new state as a function
* of the current state, without reference to any information other than the current state.
* The number of distinct possible states of such an object is called its <i>period</i>.
* (Some implementations of the {@link RandomNumberGenerator} interface may be truly random
* rather than pseudorandom, for example relying on the statistical behavior of a physical
* object to derive chosen values. Such implementations do not have a fixed period.)
* <p>
* As a rule, objects that implement the {@link RandomGenerator} interface need not be thread-safe.
* It is recommended that multithreaded applications use either {@link ThreadLocalRandom} or
* (preferably) pseudorandom number generators that implement the {@link SplittableGenerator} or
* {@link JumpableGenerator} interface.
* <p>
* To implement this interface, a class only needs to provide concrete definitions for the methods
* {@code nextLong()} and {@code period()}. Default implementations are provided for all other
* methods (but it may be desirable to override some of them, especially {@code nextInt()} if the
* underlying algorithm is {@code int}-based). Moreover, it may be preferable instead to implement
* a more specialized interface such as {@link JumpableGenerator} or {@link LeapableGenerator},
* or to extend an abstract implementation-support class such as {@link AbstractSplittableGenerator}
* or {@link AbstractArbitrarilyJumpableGenerator}.
* <p>
* Objects that implement {@link RandomGenerator} are typically not cryptographically secure.
* Consider instead using {@link java.security.SecureRandom} to get a cryptographically secure
* pseudorandom number generator for use by security-sensitive applications. Note, however, that
* {@code java.security.SecureRandom} does implement the {@link RandomGenerator} interface, so that
* instances of {@code java.security.SecureRandom} may be used interchangeably with other types of
* pseudorandom generators in applications that do not require a secure generator.
