/* Pseudo-random generator based on Minimal Standard by
Lewis, Goodman, and Miller in 1969.
I[j+1] = a*I[j] (mod m)
where a = 16807
m = 2147483647
Using Schrage's algorithm, a*I[j] (mod m) can be rewritten as:
a*(I[j] mod q) - r*{I[j]/q} if >= 0
a*(I[j] mod q) - r*{I[j]/q} + m otherwise
where: {} denotes integer division
q = {m/a} = 127773
r = m (mod a) = 2836
note that the seed value of 0 cannot be used in the calculation as
it results in 0 itself
