generic methods for sampling values and other convenience methods.</p>
<p>This is the primary trait to use when generating random values.</p>
<h2 id="generic-usage"><a href="#generic-usage">Generic usage</a></h2>
<p>The basic pattern is <code>fn foo&lt;R: Rng + ?Sized&gt;(rng: &amp;mut R)</code>. Some
things are worth noting here:</p>
<ul>
<li>Since <code>Rng: RngCore</code> and every <code>RngCore</code> implements <code>Rng</code>, it makes no
difference whether we use <code>R: Rng</code> or <code>R: RngCore</code>.</li>
<li>The <code>+ ?Sized</code> un-bounding allows functions to be called directly on
type-erased references; i.e. <code>foo(r)</code> where <code>r: &amp;mut dyn RngCore</code>. Without
this it would be necessary to write <code>foo(&amp;mut r)</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>An alternative pattern is possible: <code>fn foo&lt;R: Rng&gt;(rng: R)</code>. This has some
trade-offs. It allows the argument to be consumed directly without a <code>&amp;mut</code>
(which is how <code>from_rng(thread_rng())</code> works); also it still works directly
on references (including type-erased references). Unfortunately within the
function <code>foo</code> it is not known whether <code>rng</code> is a reference type or not,
hence many uses of <code>rng</code> require an extra reference, either explicitly
(<code>distr.sample(&amp;mut rng)</code>) or implicitly (<code>rng.gen()</code>); one may hope the
optimiser can remove redundant references later.</p>

<p>The <code>rng.gen()</code> method is able to generate arrays (up to 32 elements)
and tuples (up to 12 elements), so long as all element types can be
generated.
When using <code>rustc</code> ≥ 1.51, enable the <code>min_const_gen</code> feature to support
arrays larger than 32 elements.</p>
<p>For arrays of integers, especially for those with small element types
(&lt; 64 bit), it will likely be faster to instead use <a href="trait.Rng.html#method.fill" title="Rng::fill"><code>Rng::fill</code></a>.</p>
