Generating Random Numbers
A Random Number Generator (RNG) is a tool that produces a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance. This calculator generates pseudo-random integers within a range you specify.
How to Use
- Enter the **Minimum Value** for the desired range (inclusive).
- Enter the **Maximum Value** for the desired range (inclusive).
- Enter **How Many Numbers** you want to generate (up to a limit, e.g., 1000).
- Click "Generate Numbers".
The result area will display the list of randomly generated integers within your specified range.
Applications
RNGs are used in:
- Games and lotteries (picking winners, dice rolls).
- Statistics and sampling (selecting random participants).
- Computer simulations and modeling.
- Cryptography (generating keys, although requires higher security standards).
- Decision making (e.g., randomly assigning tasks).
Note:** Computers typically generate *pseudo-random* numbers using algorithms. While they appear random for most practical purposes, they are deterministic if the starting point (seed) is known. This generator uses the browser's built-in pseudo-random capabilities.
