- For any range width from 3, it eliminates the repetition of numbers and gaps
- Generates unique numbers in the given range until the entire range is passed
- After passing the range, it produces numbers in the same order, the order of generation of numbers depends on the starting position
- Prime numbers for bias are chosen based on the passed range
Although the linear congruential method generates a statistically good pseudo-random sequence of numbers, it is not cryptographically secure. Generators based on the linear congruential method are predictable, so they cannot be used in cryptography.

Important: The generator uses a cyclic range generation, so you must limit the number of iterations yourself!
use \Symbiotic\LinearCongruentialGenerator\LinearCongruentialGenerator;
$LCGenerator = LinearCongruentialGenerator::create(
1, // Minimum number to generate
30, // Max number to generate
1 // Generator starting position
);

echo $LCGenerator->current() . ' ';
$LCGenerator->next();
