23. Pseudo Random Number Generator

For applications that require a random number generator algorithm that is cryptographically secure, use the SecureRandom class in the java.security package.

A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), also known as a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG), is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers ... Random num · List of random number... · Linear congruential generator

The most common type of pseudo-random number generation algorithm, with respect to use in simulation languages, is the linear congruential generator.
