Signature

generator:

% $\to$ Generator MachineInteger

Parameter	Type	Description
r	%	a pseudo-random number generator

Description

This functions allows a for-loop that generates infinitely many pseudo-random numbers.

Example

The following code computes the number of tries it takes for a random generator to generate a multiple of 10:

multiple10():MachineInteger == {
    r := randomGenerator();
    for n in r for tries in 1.. repeat {
		zero?(n rem 10) => return tries;
    }
    never;
}
