Mathematica has three functions for generating pseudorandom numbers that are distributed uniformly over a range of values. Pseudorandom number generation. Generating tables ...

Pure functions. When you use functional operations such as Nest and Map, you always have to specify a function to apply. In all the examples above, we have used the "name" of ...

Relational operators. This tests whether 10 is less than 7. The result is False. Not all of these numbers are unequal, so this gives False.
