    public class Exponential

extends AbstractContinousDistribution

Exponential Distribution (aka Negative Exponential Distribution); See the math definition animated definition.

`p(x) = lambda*exp(-x*lambda)` for `x >= 0`, `lambda > 0`.

Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.

Static methods operate on a default uniform random number generator; they are synchronized.
