Method Details

randomizeFields

public static void randomizeFields(Object object,
 RandomGenerator prng)

Randomizes the values of the fields of the object. The fields to be randomized are marked with the annotations RandomizedDouble, RandomizedInteger, and RandomizedBoolean. For Agent subclasses, the randomizeFields(Object, RandomGenerator) is automatically called by the kernel just before the agent is launched, unless MadkitOptions.randomizeFields is set to false.

Parameters:

object - the object whose fields are to be randomized

prng - the pseudo-random number generator to be used

Throws:

AgentRuntimeException - if a field cannot be accessed

getBestRandomGeneratorFactory

public static RandomGeneratorFactory<RandomGenerator> getBestRandomGeneratorFactory()

Returns the best random generator factory considering the capabilities of current system and the highest number of state bits.

Returns:

the best random generator factory
