Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages

Syntax 1
public synchronized void setSeed( byte seed[] )
Parameters
seed
the seed.
Description
Reseeds this random object. The given seed supplements, rather than replaces, the existing seed. Thus, repeated calls are guaranteed never to reduce randomness.



Syntax 2
public void setSeed( long seed )
Parameters
seed
the seed.
Description
Reseeds this random object, using the eight bytes contained in the given long seed. The given seed supplements, rather than replaces, the existing seed. Thus, repeated calls are guaranteed never to reduce randomness.

This method is defined for compatibility with java.util.Random.
