 Lehmer random number generator

The Lehmer random number generator, also known as the Lehmer random number generator or the Lehmer algorithm, is a pseudorandom number generation technique developed by Daniel H. Lehmer. It is based on a linear congruential generator (LCG) but has its own specific formulation. The primary goal of the Lehmer generator is to produce a sequence of pseudorandom numbers that are uniformly distributed in the range of [0, 1].
