Pseudorandom Number Generators

Pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) are algorithms that produce a sequence of numbers that appear to be random, but are actually deterministic and can be reproduced given the same initial conditions. In the tech community, PRNGs are crucial for simulations, modeling, and statistical analysis, as well as for generating secure keys and nonces in cryptographic applications, making them a fundamental component in various software systems, including those used in startups, gaming, and cybersecurity.
