Task
Subtractive generator
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A subtractive generator calculates a sequence of random numbers, where each number is congruent to the subtraction of two previous numbers from the sequence.
The formula is

  • Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_n = r_{(n - i)} - r_{(n - j)} \pmod m}

for some fixed values of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle j} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m} , all positive integers. Supposing that Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i > j} , then the state of this generator is the list of the previous numbers from Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{n - i}} to Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{n - 1}} . Many states generate uniform random integers from Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 0} to Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m - 1} , but some states are bad. A state, filled with zeros, generates only zeros. If Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m} is even, then a state, filled with even numbers, generates only even numbers. More generally, if Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f} is a factor of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m} , then a state, filled with multiples of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f} , generates only multiples of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f} .

All subtractive generators have some weaknesses. The formula correlates Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_n} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{(n - i)}} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{(n - j)}} ; these three numbers are not independent, as true random numbers would be. Anyone who observes Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i} consecutive numbers can predict the next numbers, so the generator is not cryptographically secure. The authors of Freeciv (utility/rand.c) and xpat2 (src/testit2.c) knew another problem: the low bits are less random than the high bits.

The subtractive generator has a better reputation than the linear congruential generator, perhaps because it holds more state. A subtractive generator might never multiply numbers: this helps where multiplication is slow. A subtractive generator might also avoid division: the value of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{(n - i)} - r_{(n - j)}} is always between Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle -m} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m} , so a program only needs to add Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m} to negative numbers.

The choice of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle j} affects the period of the generator. A popular choice is Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i = 55} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle j = 24} , so the formula is

  • Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_n = r_{(n - 55)} - r_{(n - 24)} \pmod m}

The subtractive generator from xpat2 uses

  • Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_n = r_{(n - 55)} - r_{(n - 24)} \pmod{10^9}}

The implementation is by J. Bentley and comes from program_tools/universal.c of the DIMACS (netflow) archive at Rutgers University. It credits Knuth, TAOCP, Volume 2, Section 3.2.2 (Algorithm A).

Bentley uses this clever algorithm to seed the generator.

  1. Start with a single Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle seed} in range Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 0} to Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 10^9 - 1} .
  2. Set Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_0 = seed} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_1 = 1} . The inclusion of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_1 = 1} avoids some bad states (like all zeros, or all multiples of 10).
  3. Compute Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_2, s_3, ..., s_{54}} using the subtractive formula Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_n = s_{(n - 2)} - s_{(n - 1)} \pmod{10^9}} .
  4. Reorder these 55 values so Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_0 = s_{34}} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_1 = s_{13}} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_2 = s_{47}} , ..., Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_n = s_{(34 * (n + 1) \pmod{55})}} .
    • This is the same order as Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_0 = r_{54}} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_1 = r_{33}} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_2 = r_{12}} , ..., Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s_n = r_{((34 * n) - 1 \pmod{55})}} .
    • This rearrangement exploits how 34 and 55 are relatively prime.
  5. Compute the next 165 values Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{55}} to Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{219}} . Store the last 55 values.

This generator yields the sequence Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{220}} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{221}} , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{222}} and so on. For example, if the seed is 292929, then the sequence begins with Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r_{220} = 467478574} , , . By starting at , this generator avoids a bias from the first numbers of the sequence. This generator must store the last 55 numbers of the sequence, so to compute the next . Any array or list would work; a ring buffer is ideal but not necessary.

Implement a subtractive generator that replicates the sequences from xpat2.

u,v,n = i,i-j,i-1 while (n += 1) > 0 

   (global u += 1) > i && (u = 1)      # circular indexing: u,v = ((n,n-j) .% i).+1
   (global v += 1) > i && (v = 1)
   (r[u] -= r[v]) < 0 && (r[u] += m)   # table update
   n < 220 && continue                 # 165 silent values

PowerShell

Works with: PowerShell version 2

The so-called modulus operator in PowerShell (%) returns a remainder not a modulus. Hence the need for the custom Mod function when working with negative numbers. ( X % M + M ) % M can be replaced with ( X + M ) % M when X is always between -M and M, as is the case in this task, but the former is used for clarity. The first 55 generated values are placed directly into their reordered slots in the ring. An array object is used along with a rotating index object to simulate a ring. <lang PowerShell> function Get-SubtractiveRandom ( [int]$Seed ) 

   {
   function Mod ( [int]$X, [int]$M = 1000000000 ) { ( $X % $M + $M ) % $M }

   If ( $Seed )
       {
       $R = New-Object int[] 55

       $N1 = 55 - 1
       $N2 = ( $N1 + 34 ) % 55

       $R[$N1] = $Seed

Python

Python: With explanation

Uses collections.deque as a ring buffer

<lang python> import collections s= collections.deque(maxlen=55)

  1. Start with a single seed in range 0 to 10**9 - 1.

seed = 292929

  1. Set s0 = seed and s1 = 1.
  2. The inclusion of s1 = 1 avoids some bad states
  3. (like all zeros, or all multiples of 10).

s.append(seed) s.append(1)

  1. Compute s2,s3,...,s54 using the subtractive formula
  2. sn = s(n - 2) - s(n - 1)(mod 10**9).

for n in xrange(2, 55): 

   s.append((s[n-2] - s[n-1]) % 10**9)
  1. Reorder these 55 values so r0 = s34, r1 = s13, r2 = s47, ...,
  2. rn = s(34 * (n + 1)(mod 55)).

r = collections.deque(maxlen=55) for n in xrange(55): 

   i = (34 * (n+1)) % 55
   r.append(s[i])
  1. This is the same order as s0 = r54, s1 = r33, s2 = r12, ...,
  2. sn = r((34 * n) - 1(mod 55)).
  3. This rearrangement exploits how 34 and 55 are relatively prime.
  4. Compute the next 165 values r55 to r219. Store the last 55 values.


def getnextr(): 

   """get next random number"""
   r.append((r[0]-r[31])%10**9)
   return r[54]
  1. rn = r(n - 55) - r(n - 24)(mod 10**9) for n >= 55

for n in xrange(219 - 54): 

   getnextr()
  1. now fully initilised
  2. print first five numbers

for i in xrange(5): 

   print "result = ", getnextr()

Ruby

This implementation aims for simplicity, not speed. SubRandom#rand pushes to and shifts from an array; this might be slower than a ring buffer. The seeding method must call rand 55 extra times (220 times instead of 165 times). The code also calls Ruby's modulus operator, which always returns a non-negative integer if the modulus is positive.
