//! Utilities for random number generation
//!
//! Rand provides utilities to generate random numbers, to convert them to
//! useful types and distributions, and some randomness-related algorithms.
//!
//! # Quick Start
//!
//! To get you started quickly, the easiest and highest-level way to get
//! a random value is to use [`random()`]; alternatively you can use
//! [`thread_rng()`]. The [`Rng`] trait provides a useful API on all RNGs, while
//! the [`distributions`] and [`seq`] modules provide further
//! functionality on top of RNGs.
//!
//! ```
//! use rand::prelude::*;
//!
//! if rand::random() { // generates a boolean
//! // Try printing a random unicode code point (probably a bad idea)!
//! println!("char: {}", rand::random::<char>());
//! }
//!
//! let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
//! let y: f64 = rng.gen(); // generates a float between 0 and 1
//!
//! let mut nums: Vec<i32> = (1..100).collect();
//! nums.shuffle(&mut rng);
//! ```
//!
//! # The Book
//!
//! For the user guide and futher documentation, please read
//! [The Rust Rand Book](https://rust-random.github.io/book).

/// An automatically-implemented extension trait on [`RngCore`] providing high-level
/// generic methods for sampling values and other convenience methods.
///
/// This is the primary trait to use when generating random values.
///
/// # Generic usage
///
/// The basic pattern is `fn foo<R: Rng + ?Sized>(rng: &mut R)`. Some
/// things are worth noting here:
///
/// - Since `Rng: RngCore` and every `RngCore` implements `Rng`, it makes no
/// difference whether we use `R: Rng` or `R: RngCore`.
/// - The `+ ?Sized` un-bounding allows functions to be called directly on
/// type-erased references; i.e. `foo(r)` where `r: &mut RngCore`. Without
/// this it would be necessary to write `foo(&mut r)`.
///
/// An alternative pattern is possible: `fn foo<R: Rng>(rng: R)`. This has some
/// trade-offs. It allows the argument to be consumed directly without a `&mut`
/// (which is how `from_rng(thread_rng())` works); also it still works directly
/// on references (including type-erased references). Unfortunately within the
/// function `foo` it is not known whether `rng` is a reference type or not,
/// hence many uses of `rng` require an extra reference, either explicitly
/// (`distr.sample(&mut rng)`) or implicitly (`rng.gen()`); one may hope the
/// optimiser can remove redundant references later.
///
/// Example:
///
/// ```
/// # use rand::thread_rng;
/// use rand::Rng;
///
/// fn foo<R: Rng + ?Sized>(rng: &mut R) -> f32 {
/// rng.gen()
/// }
///
/// # let v = foo(&mut thread_rng());
/// ```
pub trait Rng: RngCore {
/// Return a random value supporting the [`Standard`] distribution.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use rand::{thread_rng, Rng};
///
/// let mut rng = thread_rng();
/// let x: u32 = rng.gen();
/// println!("{}", x);
/// println!("{:?}", rng.gen::<(f64, bool)>());
/// ```
///
/// # Arrays and tuples
///
/// The `rng.gen()` method is able to generate arrays (up to 32 elements)
/// and tuples (up to 12 elements), so long as all element types can be
/// generated.
///
/// For arrays of integers, especially for those with small element types
/// (< 64 bit), it will likely be faster to instead use [`Rng::fill`].
///
/// ```
/// use rand::{thread_rng, Rng};
///
/// let mut rng = thread_rng();
/// let tuple: (u8, i32, char) = rng.gen(); // arbitrary tuple support
///
/// let arr1: [f32; 32] = rng.gen(); // array construction
/// let mut arr2 = [0u8; 128];
/// rng.fill(&mut arr2); // array fill
/// ```
