rand::isaac::IsaacRng - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `IsaacRng` struct in crate `rand`.

# Struct rand::isaac::IsaacRng [−] [src]

    pub struct IsaacRng { /* fields omitted */ }

A random number generator that uses the ISAAC algorithm[1].

The ISAAC algorithm is generally accepted as suitable for cryptographic purposes, but this implementation has not be verified as such. Prefer a generator like `OsRng` that defers to the operating system for cases that need high security.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
