TI-86 Random Seed.
Does any one know what the TI-86 uses as a seed for the rand( function?
I know that you can specify a seed by saving it to the rand variable or
something to that effect, but when one isn't specified it seems to supply
one. The obvious would be the time, but from what I can tell the
TI-86 has no clock or time functions in it. The reason I am asking
this is because lately, mostly to pass time in math class, I have
been playing with generating random numbers, and then seeing how long it
takes to do it again. I have been just specifying the length of the
numbers simply by rounding them. If you are interested, here is the
program I have been working on. = means the store function.
0=A
2=C
round(rand*100,1)=B
Disp B
ClLCD
While C¹B
round(rand*100,1)=C
A+1=A
End
if C==B // Yeah, I know its redundant, just
wanted to be sure and it doesn't decrease speed so...
Disp A
