Pseudo-random

What is Pseudo-random?

1.

Describing a sequence of numbers generated by a deterministic computer that is seemingly random, but eventually repeats. Good pseudo-random number generators have very long periods before the sequence repeats.

The date Easter falls on is pseudo-random in that it cannot be predicted off the top of someone's head, and it takes 5.7 million years for the sequence to repeat.

To generate a pseudo-random number in C, you'd use the Rand(); function.

See random, number, chaos
