hello group. this is gonna sound silly. How do ppl make random number generators? is a random number generator like a routine that picks a given set of different number then goes back to the beginning and starts over? How does mathematica determine if a numbder is random? or is that even a right question to ask? I just wanted to know what the random generator is. and how it's used in Mathematica. maybe i'm asking alot. thanks in advance
