What is "Seed Value"? #264

Closed andre-idrive closed 4 years ago

andre-idrive commented 4 years ago

Please excuse my very simple question but I couldn't understand from the documentation what Seed Value is in Randomizer.Seed(int Seed). Can you please help me out?

Hi Andre,

Checkout these links: https://www.grasshopper3d.com/m/discussion?id=2985220%3ATopic%3A708634

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.random.-ctor?view=netframework-4.8#System_Random__ctor_System_Int32_

Basically specifying a seed number will always generate the same random sequence even across program restarts; hence the name "pusedo"-random.

Thanks, Brian
