## umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar
Class UniformGen

    java.lang.Object
      umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.RandomVariateGen
          umontreal.iro.lecuyer.randvar.UniformGen

    public class UniformGen

extends RandomVariateGen

This class implements random variate generators for the (continuous) uniform distribution over the interval (a, b), where a and b are real numbers with a < b. The density is

f (x) = 1/(b - a) for a <= x <= b.

The (non-static) `nextDouble` method simply calls `inverseF` on the distribution.

Constructor Summary
`UniformGen(RandomStream s)` Creates a uniform random variate generator over the interval (0, 1), using stream `s`.
`UniformGen(RandomStream s, double a, double b)` Creates a uniform random variate generator over the interval (`a`, `b`), using stream `s`.
`UniformGen(RandomStream s, UniformDist dist)` Creates a new generator for the uniform distribution `dist` and stream `s`.

Method Summary
`double` | `getA()` Returns the value of a for this object.
`double` | `getB()` Returns the value of b for this object.
`static double` | `nextDouble(RandomStream s, double a, double b)` Generates a uniform random variate over the interval (`a`, `b`) by inversion, using stream `s`.
