Synopsis

• Function: setRandomSeed

• Usage:

  setRandomSeed i

• Inputs:
  • i, an integer
• Consequences:

  • Sets the random number seed to the low-order 32 bits of the integer i. The sequence of future pseudo-random results is determined by the seed.

Description

i1 : setRandomSeed 123456

o1 = 123456

i2 : for i to 10 list random 100

o2 = {8, 29, 5, 22, 4, 32, 35, 57, 3, 95, 36}

o2 : List

i3 : setRandomSeed 123456

o3 = 123456

i4 : for i to 10 list random 100

o4 = {8, 29, 5, 22, 4, 32, 35, 57, 3, 95, 36}

o4 : List
