[Android.Runtime.Register("nextGaussian", "()D", "GetNextGaussianHandler")]
public virtual double NextGaussian ();

[<Android.Runtime.Register("nextGaussian", "()D", "GetNextGaussianHandler")>]
abstract member NextGaussian : unit -> double
override this.NextGaussian : unit -> double

Returns

Double

the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence

Implements

NextGaussian()

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Returns the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.

The general contract of nextGaussian is that one double value, chosen from (approximately) the usual normal distribution with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0, is pseudorandomly generated and returned.
