Random Number Generator

A Random Number Generator (RNG) is a tool or algorithm that produces a sequence of numbers that cannot be predicted. These numbers can be used in various applications, from computer simulations to cryptography.

There are two main types of RNGs:

1. True Random Number Generators (TRNGs): These rely on physical phenomena, such as thermal noise or radioactive decay, to generate truly random numbers.
2. Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs): These use mathematical algorithms to produce a sequence of numbers that appear random but are actually deterministic.

• Computer Simulations: Simulating real-world phenomena, such as weather patterns or traffic flow.
• Cryptography: Generating random keys for encryption and decryption.
• Gaming: Creating random outcomes in games, such as dice rolls or card shuffles.
• Scientific Research: Generating random samples for statistical analysis.
• Lotteries and Gambling: Drawing winning numbers.

By providing a source of randomness, RNGs play a crucial role in many aspects of modern technology and society.

1. Q: How random are the numbers generated?

   A: Our generator uses a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG). This means the numbers are statistically random and suitable for most applications, including those requiring high security.

2. Q: Can I set the range of numbers generated?

   A: Yes, you can. Our tool allows you to specify a minimum and maximum value for the numbers generated. This lets you tailor the output to your specific needs.

3. Q: Can I generate decimal numbers?

   A: Yes, you can. Our generator supports both integer and decimal (floating-point) numbers. You can specify the number of decimal places if needed.

4. Q: How many random numbers can I generate at once?

   A: You can generate multiple random numbers at once. Simply enter the number of random numbers you need, and the tool will generate them for you.

5. Q: Are the generated numbers repeatable?

   A: By default, the numbers are not repeatable. However, some advanced options might allow you to set a seed for repeatable sequences, which can be useful for testing or debugging.

6. Q: Is it safe to use an online random number generator for sensitive applications?

   A: Yes, our generator is safe for most applications. However, for extremely sensitive applications like cryptography, you might want to use hardware-based random number generators or consult with a security expert.

7. Q: Can I exclude certain numbers from the generated sequence?

   A: Currently, our tool does not support excluding specific numbers. However, you can generate a larger set of numbers and then filter out the ones you don't need.

8. Q: Can I generate random numbers with a specific distribution (e.g., normal distribution)?

   A: No, our tool generates uniformly distributed random numbers. For other distributions, you might need specialized statistical software or libraries.

9. Q: Does the tool work on mobile devices?

   A: Yes, our tool is designed to be responsive and works on all devices, including mobile phones and tablets.

10. Q: Is this tool free to use?

    A: Yes, our random number generator is completely free. You can use it as often as you like without any cost.
