`random`

Description

This library provides a basic interface for (splittable) pseudo-random number generators.

The API documentation can be found here:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/random/docs/System-Random.html

An older version of this library is included with GHC in the haskell98 package. This newer version is included in the Haskell Platform.

Please report bugs in the GitHub issue tracker (no longer in the GHC trac).
