Instances of this class are initialized using a “seed,” or starting value. The series of numbers generated by instances of the class are repeatable: given the same seed value, all instances of this class generate the same series of numbers.
[Note: The numbers generated by this class are chosen with equal probability from a finite set of numbers. The numbers are generated by a definite mathematical algorithm and are therefore not truly random, but are sufficiently random for practical purposes. For this reason, the numbers are considered to be pseudo-random.]
