/** <module> Random numbers

This library is derived from the DEC10   library random. Later, the core
random generator was moved to C. The current version uses the SWI-Prolog
arithmetic functions to realise this library.  These functions are based
on the GMP library.

%!  random(-R:float) is det.

%
%   Generate a random integer or float in a   range.  If L and U are
%   both integers, R is a random integer   in the half open interval
%   [L,U). If L and U are both  floats,   R  is  a float in the open
%   interval (L,U).
%
%   @deprecated Please use random/1 for   generating  a random float
%   and random_between/3 for generating a  random integer. Note that

%   predicate excludes it.

%!  setrand(+State) is det.
%!  getrand(-State) is det.
%
%   Query/set the state of the random   generator.  This is intended
%   for  restarting  the  generator  at  a  known  state  only.  The
%   predicate  setrand/1  accepts  an  opaque    term   returned  by
%   getrand/1. This term may be  asserted,   written  and  read. The
%   application may not make other assumptions about this term.
%
%   For compatibility reasons with older   versions of this library,
%   setrand/1 also accepts a term rand(A,B,C), where  A, B and C are
%   integers in the range 1..30,000. This   argument is used to seed
%   the random generator.  Deprecated.
%
%   @see    set_random/1 and random_property/1 provide the SWI-Prolog
%           native implementation.
%   @error  existence_error(random_state, _) is raised if the
%           underlying infrastructure cannot fetch the random state.
%           This is currently the case if SWI-Prolog is not compiled
%           with the GMP library.
