random number generator digits

Random Number Generator

This version of the generator creates a random integer. It can deal with very large integers up to a few thousand digits.

Comprehensive Version

This version of the generator can create one or many random integers or decimals. It can deal with very large numbers with up to 999 digits of precision.

A random number is a number chosen from a pool of limited or unlimited numbers that has no discernible pattern for prediction. The pool of numbers is almost always independent from each other. However, the pool of numbers may follow a specific distribution. For example, the height of the students in a school tends to follow a normal distribution around the median height. If the height of a student is picked at random, the picked number has a higher chance to be closer to the median height than being classified as very tall or very short. The random number generators above assume that the numbers generated are independent of each other, and will be evenly spread across the whole range of possible values.

A random number generator, like the ones above, is a device that can generate one or many random numbers within a defined scope. Random number generators can be hardware based or pseudo-random number generators. Hardware based random-number generators can involve the use of a dice, a coin for flipping, or many other devices.

A pseudo-random number generator is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. Computer based random number generators are almost always pseudo-random number generators. Yet, the numbers generated by pseudo-random number generators are not truly random. Likewise, our generators above are also pseudo-random number generators. The random numbers generated are sufficient for most applications yet they should not be used for cryptographic purposes. True random numbers are based on physical phenomena such as atmospheric noise, thermal noise, and other quantum phenomena. Methods that generate true random numbers also involve compensating for potential biases caused by the measurement process.

Random Number Generator 🎲

Use this random generator to get a truly random, cryptographically safe number. It generates random numbers (with no repeats, or with repeats) that can be used where unbiased randomization is needed such as when drawing numbers for a lottery, raffle, giveaway, or sweepstake. An RNG draw can also be used for determining who goes first in a game, and so on.

    How to pick a random number between two numbers?

You can use this random number generator to pick a truly random number between any two numbers. For example, to get a random number between 1 and 10 , including 10, enter 1 in the first field and 10 in the second, then press "Get Random Number". Our number randomizer will pick a number from 1 through 10 at random. To generate a random number between 1 and 100, do the same, but with 100 in the second field of the picker.

To simulate a dice roll , the range should be 1 to 6 for a standard six-sided dice. To perform the equivalent of a coin flip , set the range between 1 and 2 and the random selector will pick a number between 1 and 2.

To generate more than one random number from a min-max range , just select how many you need from the drop-down below. To generate unique numbers with no repeats, leave the "no repeats" checkbox on. For example, selecting to draw 6 numbers out of the set of 1 to 49 possible would be equivalent to simulating a lottery draw for a game with these parameters. If you want numbers with repeats, just flip the "no repeats" checkbox to its off state and the same number may be drawn repeatedly by chance.

    Where are random numbers useful?

You might be organizing a charity lottery , a giveaway, a raffle, a sweepstakes, etc. and you need to draw a winner - this number generator is for you! It is completely unbiased and outside of your control , so you can assure your crowd of the fairness of the draw, which might not be true if you are using standard methods like rolling a dice. If you need to choose several among the participants instead, just select the number of unique numbers you want generated by our random number picker and you are all set. However, it is usually best to draw the winners one after another, to keep the tension for longer (discarding repeat draws as you go).

A random number generator is also useful if you need to decide who goes first in some game or activity, such as board games, sport games and sports competitions. The same is true if you need to decide the participation order for multiple players / participants. Picking a team at random or randomizing a list of participants also depends on randomness.

Nowadays, a number of government-run and private lotteries and lottery games are using software RNGs to pick a number instead of more traditional drawing methods. RNGs are also used to determine the outcomes of all modern slot machines. For some other modern applications, see How Random Numbers Are the Driving Force Behind Video Games, Jury Selection, and More .

Finally, random numbers are also useful in statistics and simulations. In statistical applications one often needs to draw numbers randomly from distributions different than the uniform, e.g. a normal distribution, binomial distribution, power distribution, pareto distribution... For such use-cases a more sophisticated software is required to perform the draw.

    Generating a random number

There is a philosophical question about what exactly "random" is , but its defining characteristic is surely unpredictability . We cannot talk about the unpredictability of a single number, since that number is just what it is, but we can talk about the unpredictability of a series of numbers (number sequence). If a sequence of numbers is random, then you should not be able to predict the next number in the sequence while knowing any part of the sequence so far. Examples for this are found in rolling a fair dice, spinning a well-balanced roulette wheel, drawing balls from a sphere, and the classic flip of a coin . No matter how many dice rolls, coin flips, roulette spins or lottery draws you observe, you do not improve your chances of guessing the next number in the sequence. For those interested in physics the classic example of random movement is the Browning motion of gas or fluid particles.

Given the above and knowing that computers are fully deterministic, meaning that their output is completely determined by their input, one might say that we cannot generate a random number with a computer. However, one will only partially be correct, since a dice roll or a coin flip is also deterministic, if you know the state of the system.

The randomness in our number generator comes from physical processes - our server gathers environmental noise from device drivers and other sources into an entropy pool , from which random numbers are created [1] .

According to Alzhrani & Aljaedi [2] there are four sources of randomness that are used in the seeding of a generator of random numbers, two of which are used in our number picker:

• Entropy from the disk when the drivers call it - gathering seek time of block layer request events.
• Interrupt events from USB and other device drivers
• System values such as MAC addresses, serial numbers and Real Time Clock - used only to initialize the input pool, mostly on embedded systems.
• Entropy from input hardware - mouse and keyboard actions (not used)

This puts the RNG we use in this randomizer in compliance with the recommendations of RFC 4086 on randomness required for security [3] .

    True random versus pseudo random number generators

A pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) is a finite state machine with an initial value called the seed [4] . Upon each request to draw a number at random, a transaction function computes the next internal state and an output function produces the actual number based on the state. A PRNG deterministically produces a periodic sequence of values that depends only on the initial seed given. An example would be a linear congruential generator like PM88. Thus, knowing even a short sequence of generated values it is possible to figure out the seed that was used and thus - know the next value the number randomizer will generate.

A cryptographic pseudo-random number generator (CPRNG) is a PRNG in that it is predictable if the internal state is known. However, assuming the generator was seeded with sufficient entropy and the algorithms have the needed properties, such generators will not quickly reveal significant amounts of their internal state, meaning that you would need a huge amount of output before you can mount a successful attack on them. Randomizers of this type are suitable if the number drawing generator is to be used in a high stakes situation.

A hardware RNG is based on an unpredictable physical phenomenon, referred to as "entropy source" . Radioactive decay , or more precisely the points in time at which a radioactive source decays is a phenomenon as close to randomness as we know, while decaying particles are easy to detect. Another example is heat variation - some Intel CPUs have a detector for thermal noise in the silicon of the chip that outputs random numbers.

Hardware RNGs are, however, often biased and, more importantly, limited in their capacity to generate sufficient entropy in practical spans of time, due to the low variability of the natural phenomenon sampled. Thus, another type of RNG is needed for practical applications: a true random number generator (TRNG). In it cascades of hardware RNGs (entropy harvester) are used to periodically reseed a PRNG. When the entropy is sufficient, it behaves as a TRNG. This is the type of process used to generate random numbers in this tool.

Random number generators are typically used when developing games of chance simulations or within statistical analyses. For instance, online poker games use a random number generator to deal the shuffled cards in a random manner. The random functions that are typically incorporated into contemporary programming languages, such as JavaScript, C++, Java, and PHP are pseudorandom number generators, which are also referred to as PRNGs. Pseudorandom number sequences take the form of periodic sequences that span exceptionally large periods and, as such, replicate the behavior of genuinely random sequences.

You would need some form of external hardware that can detect randomness in physical processes to generate genuinely random numbers. For instance, many generators can detect noise in sound, light, temperature, or other quantum phenomena. These generators subsequently use these signals to construct a sequence of absolutely random numbers. Some producers sell entropy keys that can be used in combination with a USB drive. Some of the more professional online gaming websites use hardware-based RNGs to avoid a situation in which players are able to predict what cards they will be dealt.

A random number generator is a process of getting a random number every time it is needed, without the ability to define a pattern from previously generated numbers. This number can be generated either by an algorithm or a hardware device.

Generating random numbers is needed for various tasks, from computer games to common applications. For example, the system uses a random number generator to display a random banner or a random ad unit on a website. In cryptography, random numbers are also used to make a unique cipher or key.

Random number generation is used to generate numbers or text for captcha, encryption, generating salt for storing passwords, a password generator, an order of cards in an online casino, decision-making, sampling, and simulation.

The random number generator algorithm is often used in video games. Even if you play at the same level in a game, it will not be precisely the same every time you try to complete a mission. Maybe the differences will not be seen in the location or mission. Still, they will be seen in the number of enemies approaching and the areas where they appear, the climate changes, and the various obstacles encountered. This makes the game more exciting.

Let there be a sequence of numbers: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . Is it random?

A random variable is a variable that takes on one of some values as a result of a trial. And you cannot accurately predict the occurrence of a particular value before it appears.

Let's say that the given numbers were obtained by typing on one of the top rows of the keyboard. In this case, it turns out that this combination is not random because, after 5, the following number, 6, can be predicted with high probability.

The sequence will be random only if there is no dependence between symbols.

The basic condition, which is extremely important for the correct and fair principle of the random number generator, is an absolutely equal probability of any possible number that could fall out in this system. This indicates complete independence of the randomness factor and independence of what other numbers fell out before or after the random number.

For example, suppose you roll a six-sided die for the first time. In that case, you can have absolutely any number from 1 to 6 falling out with the same probability. Regardless of your number, you can roll the dice again with the same chance of getting the same number on the second, hundredth, or thousandth roll.

The sequence of digits in the number Pi appears to be non-repetitive, and to many, it might seem random. Suppose our hypothetical generator relies on the bit representation of Pi, beginning from an undisclosed point. Such a generator might be unpredictable in many contexts, potentially passing certain tests for randomness. However, relying on Pi for cryptographic purposes poses risks. If an adversary determines the specific segment of Pi being used, they can predict both preceding and following segments, compromising the security of the system.

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology proposed the "Statistical Test Package for Random and Pseudorandom Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications." It includes 15 statistical tests whose purpose is to determine the measure of randomness of bits generated by either hardware or software generators.

There are two types of random number generators (RNG): true random number generators (TRNG) and pseudo random number generators (PRNG). TRNGs use physical phenomena to generate numbers, while PRNGs use mathematical algorithms.

A true random number generator algorithm is created with a hardware device that uses tiny physical processes to generate random numbers, namely entropy. Entropy is pure, unfiltered chaos.

True random number generators use physical phenomena such as:

• radioactivity,
• thermal noise,
• electromagnetic noise,
• quantum mechanics, and others.

A true RNG is commonly used in security-oriented systems worldwide and some forms of encryption.

Random number generators use entropy sources to accumulate entropy and obtain the initial value (seed) needed by random number generators.

The pseudorandom number generator algorithm is used in areas with no security concerns. Randomness helps to avoid repetition and make the process more attractive to the end user. Implementing the technology of pseudorandom number generators is cheaper and faster because it does not require hardware and can easily be built into program code. Although the process is not entirely random and is determined based on an algorithm, it is more suitable for games and programs.

The PRNG uses a single initial value, from which its pseudo-randomness follows. At the same time, the true random number generator always generates a random number by having a high-quality random value provided at the beginning by various sources of entropy.

Pseudorandom number generation has its drawbacks. They work because they are random to the untrained eye. However, suppose you knew the initial value for a particular sequence of PRNGs. In that case, you could predict which numbers would be next.

Speed-playing video game enthusiasts often exploit this vulnerability—they call it manipulation of the PRNG. They make the game run predictably so they can pass it as quickly as possible. Fortunately, it does not entail critical problems.

But there are times when predicting random numbers is much more critical. For example, when creating security keys.

If the attacker figures out the initial value used to create RSA keys in TLS certificates, he could potentially decrypt network traffic. This means he can get passwords and other personal information sent over the Internet.

In these situations, a more secure way to get random numbers, i.e., a true random number generator, is needed.

Google's Generator

Google has its own tool for generating random numbers based on JavaScript. This tool can be useful when playing games with friends and family. You can find this generator if you type in the Google search query "random number generator."

One of the most popular algorithms for pseudorandom number generators is the Linear Congruent Method. It is used in simple cases and has no cryptographic strength. Derrick Henry Lehmer proposed the linear congruent method in 1949.

To implement the generation of numbers by this method, we need to pick four numbers:

m > 0 , modulo

0 ≤ a ≤ m , the multiplier

0 ≤ c ≤ m , the increment

0 ≤ X₀ ≤ m , the initial number

The sequence of random numbers itself is generated using the formula:

Xₙ₊₁ = (aXₙ + c) mod m

It is worth noting that this method depends on the choice of parameters.

For example, for the following set:

X₀ = 3, a = 4, c = 5, m = 6

we get a short repetitive sequence of

3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1

which does not look random.

But it's worth changing the parameters to something else:

X₀ = 2, a = 85, c = 507, m = 1356

And the scatter of results becomes more unpredictable. You must choose the numbers for this algorithm with special care.

2, 677, 1100, 443, 194, 725, 1112, 107, 110, 365, 344, 1271, 62, 353, 680, 1355, 422, 1121, 872, 47, 434, 785, 788, 1043, 1022, 593, 740, 1031, 2, 677, 1100, 443, 194, 725, 1112, 107, 110, 365, 344, 1271, 62, 353, 680, 1355, 422, 1121, 872, 47, 434, 785, 788, 1043, 1022, 593, 740, 1031, 2, 677, 1100, 443, 194, 725, 1112, 107, 110, 365...

Although the linear congruent method generates a statistically good pseudorandom number sequence, it is not cryptographically robust. Generators based on the linear congruent method are predictable, so you cannot use them in cryptography.

Linear congruent method generators were first cracked by Jim Reeds in 1977 and then by Joan Boyar in 1982. She also managed to break quadratic and cubic generators. Thus, they proved the uselessness of generators based on congruent methods for cryptography. However, generators based on the linear congruent method retain their usefulness for non-cryptographic applications, for example, for simulations. They are efficient and show good statistical performance in most empirical tests.

Modern Hardware Random Number Generators

The randomness effect in the device depends on the quantum physical process of photon emission in semiconductors and the subsequent detection of individual photons. In this process, photons are detected randomly, independently of each other, and the timing information of the detected photons is used to generate bits.

CloudFlare's San Francisco office houses random number generators called "lava lamps". Such a lamp is a glass vessel filled with transparent oil and translucent paraffin. Paraffin is slightly heavier than oil, but when heated slightly, it becomes lighter and floats up.

The movement of the liquids is monitored by several cameras that take snapshots. The snapshots are converted into numbers, from which encryption keys are then generated.

The other two CloudFlare offices use different ways to get random values. In London, a camera captures the movements of three chaotic pendulums. In Singapore is used a Geiger counter that measures the radioactive decay of a small piece of uranium. In the latter case, uranium is used as a "data source" because radioactive radiation is characterized by the randomness of each decay act.

HotBits is a site that provides true random numbers generated by a Geiger counter that registers ionizing radiation to everyone. You fill out a request form on the site specifying the number of random bytes and choose your preferred method of obtaining the data. Once the random numbers are provided to the customer, they are immediately removed from the system.

Contrary to its name ("vacuus"-empty), the vacuum cannot be considered empty. Under the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, virtual particles are born and die unceasingly.

Canadian physicists have designed a fast and structurally simple random number generator based on vacuum fluctuations. The generator consists of a pulsed laser with a high frequency of radiation, a medium with a high refractive index (diamond), and a detector. Passing through the diamond, each pulse on the sensor shows different characteristics depending on the vacuum field fluctuations encountered on the photons' path.

In the spectrum of the scattered radiation, spectral lines appear. Because of the unpredictability of the vacuum fluctuations, these lines differ in unpredictable ways each time.

This method combines compactness with generated thermal noise.

The researchers built a random number generator from a static random access memory cell printed with special inks containing semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The memory cell uses thermal noise fluctuations to generate random bits.

The carbon nanotube generator can be printed on flexible plastic substrates, allowing it to be integrated into tiny, flexible electronics devices, wearable sensors, disposable labels, and smart clothing items.

The company has proposed a simple way to create secure passwords using a physical random number generator. It is based on dice.

For example, you roll five dice at a time and write down the resulting numbers. The dice are arranged from left to right as follows: 63131. Next, you open a long list of words on the EFF website to find the corresponding word next to 63131. That word is "turbofan."

You can repeat this procedure several times. For example, five times. You may end up with a phrase of five words. Let's say, "turbofan purge unfitting try pruning." If you know how to use the rules of mnemonics, you can memorize phrases like these.

In 2014, the University of Geneva created a QRNG device that used the camera of the Nokia N9 smartphone.

The smartphone camera counted the number of photons hitting each pixel. The light source was a standard LED. Each pixel in the 8 MP camera detected about 400 photons in a short time. The total number of photons at all pixels was then converted into a sequence of random numbers.

Random selection from multiple lists, answers to questions (faq).

• What is a random number? (Definition)

A random number is a number selected at random from an interval . The randomly selected number is usually either an integer or a decimal number.

Most often the number is calculated by computer using pseudo-randomness functions like rand() or random().

• How to make a random number selection?

Indicate the type of numbers to draw:

— choice according to an interval : select numbers between $ a $ and $ b $

Example: Draw $ N $ digits between $ 1 $ and $ 100 $

— choice according to a size: select numbers with a certain number of digits

— choice according to a list: select numbers from a given list

Example: A phone number corresponds to N digits from 0 to 9

• What is a random number sample without replacement?

A draw without replacement specifies that a picked number can not be picked a second time.

Example: Draws of $ 3 $ numbers between $ 1 $ and $ 5 $ could be $ 4,2,3 $ or $ 1,5,2 $ but never $ 1,2,2 $ (the $ 2 $ having been picked a first time, it is not put back into play)

During a draw without replacement, it is not possible to pick more than $ N $ numbers in a range of size $ N $

Example: A selection of $ 100 $ numbers between $ 1 $ and $ 20 $ is impossible without replacement

• What is a random number sample with replacement?

A draw with replacement specifies that a picked number may be picked one or more times.

Example: Draws of $ 3 $ numbers between $ 1 $ and $ 5 $ could be $ 4,2,3 $ or $ 1,5,2 $ but also $ 1,2,2 $ (the $ 2 $ having been picked a first time, it is put back into play and can stand out)

During a draw with replacement, it is possible to pick more than $ N $ numbers in a range of size $ N $

Example: A selection of $ 100 $ numbers between $ 1 $ and $ 20 $ is possible with replacement

• How to pick only even numbers?

Option 1: list the even numbers (if there are not too many) and draw from this list.

Option 2: Multiply the numbers obtained by 2, they will all be even.

Random Number Generator

Generate a random number within defined range.

The Random Number Generator produces random numbers within user defined range.

What is a Number?

A number is an abstract concept used to quantify or count objects or quantities. It represents a numerical value or magnitude. Numbers are used in various fields such as mathematics, science, economics, and everyday life to describe and compare quantities, perform calculations, and establish relationships between different quantities.

Numbers can be classified into different types, including natural numbers (counting numbers), whole numbers (including zero), integers (positive and negative whole numbers), rational numbers (numbers that can be expressed as a fraction), and irrational numbers (numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction, such as the square root of 2 or π).

Numbers can be used for various purposes, such as measuring quantities (e.g., length, weight, time), indicating the position in a sequence, representing data, expressing mathematical relationships, and solving equations. They serve as a fundamental tool in mathematics and are essential for many scientific and practical applications.

Generation of randoms Numbers

Generating a random number means picking a number by chance, just like picking a toy from a bag without knowing which one you'll get. Here's how it works:

• First, we decide on the range of numbers we want to pick from, like from 1 to 100.
• Then, we start with a special number called a "seed." This seed helps us start the process of picking random numbers.
• Next, we use the seed to follow a special rule that helps us get different random numbers each time. It's like a secret code that helps us know which number comes next.
• The number we get might be between 0 and 1 at first. But if we want numbers between 1 and 100, we can change it. We make it bigger by multiplying it and adding 1. So, our number can become 1, 2, 3, and so on, up to 100.
• Sometimes the number might have a decimal part, like 7.5. But if we only want whole numbers, which is this tool case, we can remove the decimal part and keep the whole number, like 7.
• If we want more random numbers, we can repeat these steps to get as many as we need.

That's it! We use a special rule and a starting point (seed) to get random numbers within a range we choose.

Using the tool

This tool was developed for programmers and testers who have the constant need to enter different numbers in developing forms.

Random Numbers:

Random number generator.

Its the core of all randomness. Pick a number or generate a whole sequence of numbers within a minimum and maximum value (inclusive) while including or suppress duplicates. Your device is used to quickly generate these numbers, completely random and unique to you every time.

Change the quantity to one if you just want it to pick a number.

You can switch the presentation to roll some dice instead. Or change gears completely with the phone number generator or random letter generator .

Random Number Generator is a free online random number generation tool that can be used for online random sorting, lottery shaking, random extraction, random passwords and more. You can customize the parameters according to your needs, including the range of random number generation, generating multiple random numbers, For the generated multiple random numbers are unique, etc.

Random number generator settings

1. "Minimum number" and "Maximum number" can limit the range of numbers in the random result, for example, if you need to generate integers less than 10, you can fill in 0 to 10 respectively; if you need to generate 3-digit numbers, you need to fill "100" in "Minimum number" and "999" in "Maximum number".

2. "Number" is the number of random numbers generated at one time, if you need to generate 5 random numbers at the same time, you can enter "5" here.

3. "Allow duplicates?" is to allow or prevent the same number from appearing multiple times in the random number result. This setting is only valid when the "number" is greater than "1".

How does the random number generator work?

This system can generate random numbers directly by click the "Generate" once; it can also start to generate random numbers by click the "START" below, then terminating or generating random numbers by click the "STOP" , which can also be control by the space bar on your keyboard.

This system also supports full screen function, click the full screen button on the right side to enter full screen mode, or you can directly press "F11" on the keyboard.

A device that can produce one or more random numbers within a specific range is a random number generator, like the ones mentioned above. Hardware-based or pseudo-random number generators are two different types of random number generators. Hardware-based random-number generators can use a coin toss, a dice roll, or a variety of other mechanisms. An approach for producing a series of numbers with characteristics that resemble those of sequences of random numbers is known as a pseudo-random number generator. Random number generators that are computer-based are nearly invariably pseudo-random number generators. However, pseudo-random number generators do not produce truly random numbers. In a similar vein, the generators we used previously are pseudo-random number generators.

Decimal Random Number Generator

What is a random number generator, decimal vs integer random numbers, how to use this random number generator with decimals, related omni calculators.

Omni's decimal random number generator will assist you in your math or programming tasks by producing as many uniformly distributed random decimal numbers as you need and from the range you need. In the article below, we will briefly explain what random and pseudo-random decimals are.

A random (or rather pseudo -random) number generator is an algorithm that outputs a sequence of numbers. These numbers should follow no discernible pattern , i.e., it should not be possible to predict the next number of the sequence.

Since there's an algorithm behind the generation procedure, these numbers are not truly random yet they are good enough for most applications. What our decimal random number generator produces is in fact a sequence of pseudo-random decimal numbers.

A decimal number is a number written in the base-10 system, i.e., the number system that is most commonly used nowadays. Examples of decimal numbers are 0.33, 2, 2.34 , etc.

A decimal number consists of a whole number part and a fractional part . For example, 2.34 has 2 as its whole number part and 0.34 as its fractional part. There is no whole number part in 0.33 , while 2 has no fractional part. The latter number can also be written as 2.0 . It is, in fact, an example of an integer , which is a decimal number with no fractional part.

When it comes to drawing random numbers , an important difference between integers and decimal numbers is that in every range [a,b] , there are finitely many integers but infinitely many decimal numbers . If we draw decimal numbers from any continuous distribution, in particular from the uniform distribution, then the probability of getting duplicates is zero .

Our random number generator with decimals is really straightforward to use:

• Specify the range from which you want to draw.
• Tell us how many numbers you want .
• If you wish, you may adjust the precision, i.e., the number of decimal places .
• Our decimal random number generator can sort the numbers it produced - just switch the Sort option to Yes .
• Similarly, you can choose between List and Column output.

🙋 Enter 0 as Precision to produce integers with the help of our random decimal number generator.

How do I generate a random number from a given range?

If you want to generate a random number from the interval [a, b] :

• Generate a random number from the interval [0, 1] .
• Multiply this number by (b - a) .
• Add a to the result of Step 2.
• That's it! What you got in Step 3 is a random number from [a,b] .

Can I express every integer as a decimal?

Yes , every integer can be expressed as a decimal number. In fact, there are two ways to do that: for example, the integer 2 can be expressed as 2 and as 1.999… (with the 9 repeating infinitely many times). In computer science, we would also consider 2.0 or 2.000 as different from 2 .

How do I obtain true random numbers?

Random numbers generated by computer algorithms are, in fact, pseudo -random: they do follow some pattern, yet a highly complicated one. To get a true random number, we can exploit various physical systems , in particular quantum systems.
