r8_uniform_01 Function

function r8_uniform_01 ( seed )

!*****************************************************************************80
!
!! R8_UNIFORM_01 returns a unit pseudorandom R8.
!
!  Discussion:
!
!    An R8 is a real ( kind = 8 ) value.
!
!    For now, the input quantity SEED is an integer variable.
!
!    This routine implements the recursion
!
!      seed = 16807 * seed mod ( 2^31 - 1 )
!      r8_uniform_01 = seed / ( 2^31 - 1 )
!
!    The integer arithmetic never requires more than 32 bits,
!    including a sign bit.
!
!    If the initial seed is 12345, then the first three computations are
!
