//! Utilities for random number generation
//!
//! The key functions are `random()` and `Rng::gen()`. These are polymorphic and
//! so can be used to generate any type that implements `Rand`. Type inference
//! means that often a simple call to `rand::random()` or `rng.gen()` will
//! suffice, but sometimes an annotation is required, e.g.
//! `rand::random::<f64>()`.
//!
//! See the `distributions` submodule for sampling random numbers from
//! distributions like normal and exponential.
//!
//! # Thread-local RNG
//!
//! There is built-in support for a RNG associated with each thread stored
//! in thread-local storage. This RNG can be accessed via `thread_rng`, or
//! used implicitly via `random`. This RNG is normally randomly seeded
//! from an operating-system source of randomness, e.g. `/dev/urandom` on
//! Unix systems, and will automatically reseed itself from this source
//! after generating 32 KiB of random data.
//!
//! # Cryptographic security
//!
//! An application that requires an entropy source for cryptographic purposes
//! must use `OsRng`, which reads randomness from the source that the operating
//! system provides (e.g. `/dev/urandom` on Unixes or `CryptGenRandom()` on
//! Windows).
//! The other random number generators provided by this module are not suitable
//! for such purposes.
//!
//! *Note*: many Unix systems provide `/dev/random` as well as `/dev/urandom`.
//! This module uses `/dev/urandom` for the following reasons:
//!
//! -   On Linux, `/dev/random` may block if entropy pool is empty;
//!     `/dev/urandom` will not block.  This does not mean that `/dev/random`
//!     provides better output than `/dev/urandom`; the kernel internally runs a
//!     cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) based on
//!     entropy pool for random number generation, so the "quality" of
//!     `/dev/random` is not better than `/dev/urandom` in most cases.  However,
//!     this means that `/dev/urandom` can yield somewhat predictable randomness
//!     if the entropy pool is very small, such as immediately after first
//!     booting.  Linux 3.17 added the `getrandom(2)` system call which solves
//!     the issue: it blocks if entropy pool is not initialized yet, but it does
//!     not block once initialized.  `OsRng` tries to use `getrandom(2)` if
//!     available, and use `/dev/urandom` fallback if not.  If an application
//!     does not have `getrandom` and likely to be run soon after first booting,
//!     or on a system with very few entropy sources, one should consider using
//!     `/dev/random` via `ReadRng`.
//! -   On some systems (e.g. FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X) there is no
//!     difference between the two sources. (Also note that, on some systems
//!     e.g.  FreeBSD, both `/dev/random` and `/dev/urandom` may block once if
//!     the CSPRNG has not seeded yet.)
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rand::Rng;
//!
//! let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
//! if rng.gen() { // random bool
//!     println!("i32: {}, u32: {}", rng.gen::<i32>(), rng.gen::<u32>())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ```rust
//! let tuple = rand::random::<(f64, char)>();
//! println!("{:?}", tuple)
//! ```
//!
//! ## Monte Carlo estimation of π
//!
//! For this example, imagine we have a square with sides of length 2 and a unit
//! circle, both centered at the origin. Since the area of a unit circle is π,
//! we have:
//!
//! ```text
//!     (area of unit circle) / (area of square) = π / 4
//! ```
//!
//! So if we sample many points randomly from the square, roughly π / 4 of them
//! should be inside the circle.
//!
//! We can use the above fact to estimate the value of π: pick many points in
//! the square at random, calculate the fraction that fall within the circle,
//! and multiply this fraction by 4.
//!
//! ```
//! use rand::distributions::{IndependentSample, Range};
//!
//! fn main() {
//!    let between = Range::new(-1f64, 1.);
//!    let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
//!
//!    let total = 1_000_000;
//!    let mut in_circle = 0;
//!
//!    for _ in 0..total {
//!        let a = between.ind_sample(&mut rng);
//!        let b = between.ind_sample(&mut rng);
//!        if a*a + b*b <= 1. {
//!            in_circle += 1;
//!        }
//!    }
//!
//!    // prints something close to 3.14159...
//!    println!("{}", 4. * (in_circle as f64) / (total as f64));
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Monty Hall Problem
//!
//! This is a simulation of the [Monty Hall Problem][]:
//!
//! > Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors:
//! > Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say
//! > No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another
//! > door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to
//! > pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
//!
//! The rather unintuitive answer is that you will have a 2/3 chance of winning
//! if you switch and a 1/3 chance of winning if you don't, so it's better to
//! switch.
//!
//! This program will simulate the game show and with large enough simulation
//! steps it will indeed confirm that it is better to switch.
//!
//! [Monty Hall Problem]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
//!
