/**
* A random number generator isolated to the current thread. Like the
* global {@link java.util.Random} generator used by the {@link
* java.lang.Math} class, a {@code ThreadLocalRandom} is initialized
* with an internally generated seed that may not otherwise be
* modified. When applicable, use of {@code ThreadLocalRandom} rather
* than shared {@code Random} objects in concurrent programs will
* typically encounter much less overhead and contention. Use of
* {@code ThreadLocalRandom} is particularly appropriate when multiple
* tasks (for example, each a {@link ForkJoinTask}) use random numbers
* in parallel in thread pools.
*
* <p>Usages of this class should typically be of the form:
* {@code ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextX(...)} (where
* {@code X} is {@code Int}, {@code Long}, etc).
* When all usages are of this form, it is never possible to
* accidently share a {@code ThreadLocalRandom} across multiple threads.
*
* <p>This class also provides additional commonly used bounded random
* generation methods.
