Constructor Detail

Sim_tstudent_obj

public Sim_tstudent_obj(String name,
                        long deg_freedom)
Constructor with which Sim_system is allowed to set the random number generator's seed

Parameters:
name - The name to be associated with this instance
deg_freedom - The degrees of freedom for the distribution

Sim_tstudent_obj

public Sim_tstudent_obj(String name,
                        long deg_freedom,
                        long seed)
The constructor with which a specific seed is set for the random number generator

Parameters:
name - The name to be associated with this instance
deg_freedom - The degrees of freedom for the distribution
seed - The initial seed for the generator, two instances with the same seed will generate the same sequence of numbers
