----------------------------------

             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
