Hi!
I have some problem with the use of Scheme function
"Random". It seems that for n=power of 2 the value returned is not
so random...
Ex:
STk> (random 4)
->2
STk> (random 4)
->3
STk> (random 4)
->0
STk> (random 4)
->1
STk> (random 4)
->2
STk> (random 4)
->3
...and so on!
I see nothing wrong with this sequence. Are you saying it repeats after 4
calls to random? I don't see that behavior in STk 2.2.
