===fn:random-number-generator===
 
; Signatures
* <code>fn:random-number-generator() as map(xs:string, item())</code>
* <code>fn:random-number-generator($seed as xs:anyAtomicType) as map(xs:string, item())</code>
 
Creates a random number generator. The returned map contains three entries:
 
* {{Code|number}} is a random double between 0 and 1
* {{Code|next}} is a function that returns another random number generator
* {{Code|permute}} is a function that returns a random permutation of its argument
 
The returned random generator is ''determnistic'': If the function is called twice with the same arguments and in the same execution scope, it will always return the same result.
 
Example:
 
<pre class="brush:xquery">
let $rng := fn:random-number-generator()
let $number := $rng('number') (: returns a random number :)
let $next-rng := $rng('next')() (: returns a new generator :)
let $next-number := $next-rng('number') (: returns another random number :)
let $permutation := $rng('permute')(1 to 5) (: returns a random permutation of (1,2,3,4,5) :)
return ($number, $next-number, $permutation)
</pre>
