[plt-scheme] Generating Random bignums

Either the random-integer functions in SRFI 27 or the random-uniform-int
in the science collection can generate bignums - just make n large
enough.

Subject: [plt-scheme] Generating Random bignums

 

Dear all,

 

Is there a primitive or library function to generate random bignums? I
can't seem to find anything using PLT's help desk.

 

Many thanks in advance for your responses.

 

Cheers,

 

Marco
