This class implements a normalized uniform random generator.

Since it is a normalized random generator, it generates values from a uniform distribution with mean equal to 0 and standard deviation equal to 1. Generated values fall in the range [-√3, +√3].

Since:1.2

Generate a random scalar with null mean and unit standard deviation.

The number generated is uniformly distributed between -&sqrt;(3) and +&sqrt;(3).

Returns:a random scalar with null mean and unit standard deviation
