(** {1 Pseudo-random generators}
This easiest way to get random numbers (of random values of any type)
is to take advantage of the non-determinism of Hoare triples.
Simply declaring a function
[val random_int: unit -> {} int {}]
is typically enough. Two calls to [random_int] return values that can not
be proved equal, which is exactly what we need.
The following modules provide slightly more: pseudo-random generators
which are deterministic according to a state. The state is either
explicit (module [State]) or global (module [Random]). Functions [init] allow
to reset the generators according to a given seed.

(** {2 Mutable states of pseudo-random generators}
Basically a reference containing a pure generator. *)
module State
use int.Int
type state = private mutable { }
val create (seed: int) : state
val init (s: state) (seed: int) : unit writes {s}
val self_init (s: state) : unit writes {s}
val random_bool (s: state) : bool writes {s}
val random_int (s: state) (n: int) : int writes {s}
requires { 0 < n }
ensures { 0 <= result < n }
end
(** {2 A global pseudo-random generator} *)
module Random
use int.Int
use State
val s: state
let init (seed: int) = init s seed
let self_init () = self_init s
let random_bool ()
= random_bool s
let random_int (n: int)
requires { 0 < n }
ensures { 0 <= result < n }
= random_int s n
end
