Random number generator about digitalcomm.jl HOT 2 OPEN

Hello,
Thanks for the feedback !
I am not really sure to understand your point. To have a bit stream generation in DigitalComm you have genBitSequence that takes a size N as input parameter and a seed, so it seems to be similar with what you point ? The seed is an optional parameter though, but this seems fine for me

In any ways we have:

using DigitalComm, Random
N = 512 
seed = 1234
bitSeq = genBitSequence(N,seed)

bitSeq2 = genBitSequence(N,seed)
all(bitSeq .== bitSeq2) # returns true 

But if I have understand at all what was your point, do not hesitate to tell :)

Hello

Thanks for replying. Maybe I have misunderstood whether the use of a seed within 'genBitSequence' will retain state on successive calls to that routine.

In the example I give above, the seed can be set initially and the state is maintained as per the last call so that successive calls progress the random number generator state. This means I can have several generators in the program, each able to create independent random streams that can be called within a loop.

Hope that explanation helps.

Kind regards
Kumar
