PHP's lcg_value in TypeScript

How to use

Install via yarn add locutus and import: import { lcg_value } from 'locutus/php/math/lcg_value'.

Or with CommonJS: const { lcg_value } = require('locutus/php/math/lcg_value')

Use a bundler that supports tree-shaking so you only ship the functions you actually use. Vite, webpack, Rollup, and Parcel all handle this. For server-side use this is less of a concern.

Examples

These examples are extracted from test cases that automatically verify our functions against their native counterparts.

#	code	expected result
1	var $rnd = lcg_value() var $result = $rnd >= 0 && $rnd <= 1	true

Here's what our current TypeScript equivalent to PHP's lcg_value looks like.

  //       example 1: var $rnd = lcg_value()
  //       example 1: var $result = $rnd >= 0 && $rnd <= 1
  //       returns 1: true

  return Math.random()
}

export function lcg_value() {
  //      discuss at: https://locutus.io/php/lcg_value/
  // parity verified: PHP 8.3

  //       returns 1: true

  return Math.random()
}

Improve this function

Locutus is a community effort following The McDonald's Theory: we ship first iterations, hoping others will improve them. If you see something that could be better, we'd love your contribution.
