RandomComplex

RandomComplex[]
gives a pseudorandom complex number with real and imaginary parts in the range 0 to 1.

$RandomComplex[{z_(min),z_(max)}]$
gives a pseudorandom complex number in the rectangle with corners given by the complex numbers z_min and z_max.

RandomComplex[z_max]
gives a pseudorandom complex number in the rectangle whose corners are the origin and z_max.

RandomComplex[range, n]
gives a list of

pseudorandom complex numbers.

RandomComplex[range, {n₁, n₂, ...}]
gives an

array of pseudorandom complex numbers.

RandomComplex chooses complex numbers with a uniform probability distribution in the rectangle specified.

RandomComplex[range, WorkingPrecision->n] yields complex numbers with -digit precision. Leading or trailing digits in the generated number can turn out to be 0.

RandomComplex gives a different sequence of pseudorandom reals whenever you run Mathematica. You can start with a particular seed using SeedRandom.

A Method option to SeedRandom can be given to specify the pseudorandom generator used.
