* An instance of this class is used to generate a stream of
* pseudorandom numbers. The class uses a 48-bit seed, which is
* modified using a linear congruential formula. (See Donald Knuth,
* <i>The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 2</i>, Section 3.2.1.)
* <p>
* If two instances of <code>Random</code> are created with the same
* seed, and the same sequence of method calls is made for each, they
* will generate and return identical sequences of numbers. In order to
* guarantee this property, particular algorithms are specified for the
* class <tt>Random</tt>. Java implementations must use all the algorithms
* shown here for the class <tt>Random</tt>, for the sake of absolute
* portability of Java code. However, subclasses of class <tt>Random</tt>
* are permitted to use other algorithms, so long as they adhere to the
* general contracts for all the methods.
* <p>
* The algorithms implemented by class <tt>Random</tt> use a
* <tt>protected</tt> utility method that on each invocation can supply
* up to 32 pseudorandomly generated bits.
* <p>
* Many applications will find the <code>random</code> method in
* class <code>Math</code> simpler to use.
