A truly random number is something that is surprisingly difficult to generate. A typical approach is to generate the required element of chance from a natural and unpredictable source, such as radi… ...

Most of what we do is, technically, pseudo-random (but we’ll say random number and assume you know what we mean). One way to generate seemingly random sequences is to use a linear feedback shift ...

In this project, you will implement your own pseudo-random number generator (PRG) in Java. We will give you some of the code you need, and we will ask you to provide certain functions missing from the ...

Given the same seed, a pseudo-random number generator will always produce the exact same sequence of numbers. For applications where predictability could be an issue, like in cryptography, even a ...
