## Detailed Description

Random number accessor This small class encapsulates the use of the random number generator.

The sole pupose of this class is to hide the usage of the interface and make the whole thing more user friendly. The object is usable directly after creation.

The typical usage is: Rndm::Numbers numbers(); if ( numbers.initialize(rndmGenSvc, Rndm::Gauss(0.5,0.2)).isSuccess() ) { for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) { value = numbers(); ... } }
