SeedRandom

Usage

• SeedRandom[n] resets the pseudorandom number generator, using the integer n as a seed.
• SeedRandom[ ] resets the generator, using as a seed the time of day.


Notes

• You can use SeedRandom[n] to make sure you get the same sequence of pseudorandom numbers on different occasions.
• You can also use SeedRandom["string"], although the seed set in this way may be different on different computer systems.
• See Section 3.2.4.
• See also: Random, $RandomState.
• New in Version 1.
