Random Number Generator

A random number generator (RNG) is a system or algorithm that produces a sequence of numbers that lack any predictable pattern. In digital devices, these are often called pseudo-random because they are generated using mathematical formulas that mimic randomness. True randomness can come from physical processes like atmospheric noise or radioactive decay. RNGs are essential in applications like cryptography, gaming, and simulations, ensuring unpredictability and fairness. While the underlying processes may vary, their goal is to produce numbers that appear random and unpredictable for their intended use.
