474  /// equi-distributed in 623 dimensions for 32-bit numbers. The time

482  ///
483  /// The generator gives back random numbers of serveral types. To
484  /// get a random number from a range of a floating point type you

487  /// n-1} integer range use the \c operator[] or the \c integer()
488  /// method. And to get random number from the whole range of an
