Ralf Wiebicke created MATH-936: ---------------------------------- Summary: RandomDataGenerator#nextLong violates bounds Key: MATH-936 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-936 Project: Commons Math Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.1 Reporter: Ralf Wiebicke Attachments: RandomGeneratorLongTest.java
I attached a test. If the underlying RandomGenerator returns 0.0, then nextLong returns Long.MIN_VALUE, although the lower bound is Long.MIN_VALUE+1. The javadoc of RandomGenerator#nextDouble does not clearly define, whether the result includes the lower border of 0.0 or not. In java.util.Random it clearly defined as included: "uniformly from the range 0.0d (inclusive) to 1.0d (exclusive)". And the existence of JDKRandomGenerator suggests, that RandomGenerator should have the same contract. I tested with version 3.1.1 from mvnrepository -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
