How To Install libghc-tf-random-dev on Ubuntu 20.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libghc-tf-random-dev on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is libghc-tf-random-dev
libghc-tf-random-dev is:
This package contains an implementation of a high-quality splittable pseudorandom number generator. The generator is based on a cryptographic hash function built on top of the ThreeFish block cipher. See the paper Splittable Pseudorandom Number Generators Using Cryptographic Hashing by Claessen, Pałka for details and the rationale of the design.
The package provides the following:
A splittable PRNG that implements the standard System.Random.RandomGen class.
The generator also implements an alternative version of the System.Random.TF.Gen.RandomGen class (exported from System.Random.TF.Gen), which requires the generator to return pseudorandom integers from the full 32-bit range, and contains an n-way split function.
An alternative version of the Random class is provided, which is linked to the new RandomGen class, together with Random instances for some integral types.
Two functions for initialising the generator with a non-deterministic seed: one using the system time, and one using the /dev/urandom UNIX special file.
Please note that even though the generator provides very high-quality pseudorandom numbers, it has not been designed with cryptographic applications in mind.
This package provides a library for the Haskell programming language. See http://www.haskell.org/ for more information on Haskell. Ghc-Package: tf-random-0.5-IjFVdJXpGgq3hBuRJiaT27
