Frequently asked questions
Q) How can a computer that can only make real calculations possibly generate a genuinely random number?
A) In reality, a computer cannot create a number that is truly random, but the Random
class uses a seed that produces a number that will stand up as genuinely random under close statistical scrutiny. To find out more about seeds and generating random numbers, look at the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation.
