Define Documentation

#define LL_USE_SYSTEM_RAND   0

Through analysis, we have decided that we want to take values which are close enough to 1.0 to map back to 0.0. We came to this conclusion from noting that:

[0.0, 1.0)

when scaled to the integer set:

[0, 4)

there is some value close enough to 1.0 that when multiplying by 4, gets truncated to 4. Therefore:

[0,1-eps] => 0 [1,2-eps] => 1 [2,3-eps] => 2 [3,4-eps] => 3

So 0 gets uneven distribution if we simply clamp. The actual clamp utilized in this file is to map values out of range back to 0 to restore uniform distribution.

Also, for clamping floats when asking for a distribution from [0.0,g) we have determined that for values of g < 0.5, then rand*g=g, which is not the desired result. As above, we clamp to 0 to restore uniform distribution.
