This way, you can generate the same random +number sequence in both languages by using the same seed. + +The package implements a Tausworthe LSFR RNG (more details at +\url{https://gertjanvandenburg.com/blog/syncrng/}). This is a very fast +pseudo-random number generator. +} +\section{Usage}{ + +There are two ways to use this package in R. It can be used as a reference +class, where a SyncRNG object is used to keep the state of the generator and +numbers are generated using the object methods. It can also be used as a +user-defined random number generator using the strategy outlined in +.Random.user.
