Random Number Generators

Random number generators (RNGs) are algorithms or devices that produce numbers in a way that is unpredictable and does not follow a specific pattern. They can be either "true" RNGs, which rely on physical processes (like electronic noise or radioactive decay), or "pseudo-random" number generators, which use mathematical formulas to simulate randomness. RNGs are widely used in various fields, including cryptography, gaming, and statistical sampling, where random selection is crucial. Their ability to generate unpredictable results ensures fairness and security in applications such as drawing lottery numbers or shuffling cards.
