The Maths

Hi, can anyone add a section about how exactly you can base the number off of the seed? I have actually only visited this page because I was curious about how I can use a seed to generate a random list of numbers, not its defintion. Can someone please explain? 62.155.197.163 (talk) 14:45, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

you might try looking at Pseudorandom_number_generator, which I have to admit is rather is heavy reading if you are looking for a simple explanation. 78.116.1.44 (talk) 19:32, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
