Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description

default IntStream	samples() Returns an effectively unlimited stream of int sample values.
default IntStream	samples(long streamSize) Returns a stream producing the given streamSize number of int sample values.

Method Detail

sample

int sample()

Generates a random value sampled from this distribution.

Returns:

a random value.

samples

default IntStream samples()

Returns an effectively unlimited stream of int sample values.

The default implementation produces a sequential stream that repeatedly calls sample().

Returns:

a stream of int values.

samples

default IntStream samples(long streamSize)

Returns a stream producing the given streamSize number of int sample values.

The default implementation produces a sequential stream that repeatedly calls sample(); the stream is limited to the given streamSize.

Parameters:

streamSize - Number of values to generate.

Returns:

a stream of int values.
