//! Utilities for random number generation
//!
//! Rand provides utilities to generate random numbers, to convert them to
//! useful types and distributions, and some randomness-related algorithms.
//!
//! # Quick Start
//!
//! ```
//! // The prelude import enables methods we use below, specifically
//! // Rng::random, Rng::sample, SliceRandom::shuffle and IndexedRandom::choose.
//! use rand::prelude::*;
//!
//! // Get an RNG:
//! let mut rng = rand::rng();
//!
//! // Try printing a random unicode code point (probably a bad idea)!
//! println!("char: '{}'", rng.random::<char>());
//! // Try printing a random alphanumeric value instead!
//! println!("alpha: '{}'", rng.sample(rand::distr::Alphanumeric) as char);
//!
//! // Generate and shuffle a sequence:
//! let mut nums: Vec<i32> = (1..100).collect();
//! nums.shuffle(&mut rng);
//! // And take a random pick (yes, we didn't need to shuffle first!):
//! let _ = nums.choose(&mut rng);
//! ```
//!
//! # The Book
//!
//! For the user guide and further documentation, please read
//! [The Rust Rand Book](https://rust-random.github.io/book).
