This will initialize $a$ as a copy of $b$. Note that for compatibility with LibTomMath the function
|
||||
fp\_copy() is also provided.

\subsection{Initialization with a random value}
|
||||
To initialize an integer with a random value of a specific length use the fp\_rand() function.
|
||||
|
||||
\index{fp\_rand}
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
void fp_rand(fp_int *a, int digits)
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
This will initialize $a$ with $digits$ random digits.
|
||||
|
||||
\index{FP\_GEN\_RANDOM} \index{FP\_GEN\_RANDOM\_MAX}
|
||||
The source of the random data is \textbf{arc4random()} on *BSD systems that provide this function
|
||||
and the standard C function \textbf{rand()} on all other systems. It can be configured at compile time
|
||||
by pre-defining \textbf{FP\_GEN\_RANDOM} and \textbf{FP\_GEN\_RANDOM\_MAX}.
