public interface RandomLongGenerator
extends RandomNumberGenerator

A (pseudo) random number generator that generates a sequence of longs that lack any pattern and are uniformly distributed.

By default, an implementation of RandomLongGenerator is not thread-safe, and thus should not be shared among multiple threads. If a RandomLongGenerator instance is used in a multi-threaded program, for example, use

RandomLongGenerator rng = RandomNumberGenerators.synchronizedRLG(new MersenneTwister());
