SYNOPSIS

subroutine mtprng_init(seed, state)

     integer(INT32),     intent(in)  :: seed
     type(mtprng_state), intent(out) :: state

DESCRIPTION

Initializes the Mersenne Twister random number generator with "seed"

OPTIONS

seed	A seed value is used to start a specific sequence of pseudo-random numbers
state	generator state initialized by mtprng_init(3f) or mtprng_init_array(3f)

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

   program demo_mtprng_init
   use M_random, only : mtprng_state, mtprng_init, mtprng_rand64
   use, intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env, only : int32, int64
   implicit none
   integer(INT32) :: seed
   type(mtprng_state) :: state
      GET_SEED: block
      integer :: count
      integer :: count_rate
         call system_clock(count, count_rate)
         seed=count
      endblock GET_SEED
     call mtprng_init(seed, state)
     ! returns a INT64 integer with a range in 0 .. 2^32-1
     write(*,*) mtprng_rand64(state)
   end program demo_mtprng_init
