[TIB] Re: randseed on TI-89




It seeds the random number generator...  hehehe
Computers suck at making random numbers, but there are some formulas
that spit out numbers that seem random.  When you seed the random, you
are telling it where to start.  

Try this:
Enter Randseed(1)
Then rand() a bunch of times.  I bet you get a list like this:

.745560772771
.855900597109
.225360061685
.469229187981

at least I did every time I seeded it with 1.
