62      <p>A random number generator class using the Mersenne twister.</p><p>The Mersenne twister is a random number generating algorithm that generates superior pseudo-random numbers, but it requires an internal state of roughly 2.5 KB.</p><p>This class uses the same parameters as <CODE>mt19937</CODE>, and the same initial state is obtained upon initialization.</p><p>Because the size of this class is large, caution is needed when allocating it on the stack.</p><p>The random number cycle is 2^19937 - 1.</p><!-- write here --></div>
