// Class defining methods for shooting binomial distributed random values,
// given a sample size n (default=1) and a probability p (default=0.5).
// Default values are used for operator()().
//
// Valid input values satisfy the relation n*min(p,1-p) > 0. When invalid
// values are presented, the code silently returns -1.0.
