(49G) Wichmann Hill (2005) Random Sequence Generator
Wichmann & Hill's algorithm produces a sequence of randomly distributed reals in the range zero to one.

I dispense with the traditional "pseudo" in my description as the term now merely means "algorithmically produced".

For information concerning the algorithm see:

http://www.eurometros.org/file_download....le_key=247

SETWH sets the parameters s1 to s4 for no input.

NEXTR takes no input & returns the next random real to the stack.


Code:

SETWH

  BINT5
  ONE_DO
  %RAN

  $>ID
