Also take a look a the BigInteger class' constructors. Some of them take a Random object and generate a number in a range up to given power of two. Presumably you can use this as a starting point. If you need high quality numbers it's probably also worth looking into a cryptographic random number generator library, rather than using java.util.Random. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
