SeedSequence.Fill Method

public virtual void Fill(
	Span<uint> buffer
)

Public Overridable Sub Fill ( 
	buffer As Span(Of UInteger)
)

public:
virtual void Fill(
	Span<unsigned int> buffer
)

abstract Fill : 
        buffer : Span<uint32> -> unit 
override Fill : 
        buffer : Span<uint32> -> unit 

Parameters

buffer  Span<UInt32>

The span to fill with entropy values.

This is the canonical fill method for 32-bit values. It defines the authoritative entropy stream by calling NextUInt32() for each element.

For PRNGs with 32-bit state elements, this is the most efficient initialization method.

public virtual void Fill(
	Span<ulong> buffer
)

Public Overridable Sub Fill ( 
	buffer As Span(Of ULong)
)

public:
virtual void Fill(
	Span<unsigned long long> buffer
)

abstract Fill : 
        buffer : Span<uint64> -> unit 
override Fill : 
        buffer : Span<uint64> -> unit 

Parameters

buffer  Span<UInt64>

The span to fill with entropy values.

This method derives 64-bit values by packing consecutive 32-bit values in little-endian order: each 64-bit value is formed from two consecutive calls to NextUInt32(), where the first call provides the lower 32 bits and the second call provides the upper 32 bits.

This ensures deterministic, portable behavior across all platforms. For PRNGs with 64-bit state elements, this is the most efficient initialization method.

public void Fill(
	ulong[] buffer
)

Public Sub Fill ( 
	buffer As ULong()
)

public:
void Fill(
	array<unsigned long long>^ buffer
)

member Fill : 
        buffer : uint64[] -> unit 

Parameters

buffer  UInt64[]

The array to fill with entropy values.
