In both Actionscript 2 and 3, the type of pseudorandom number generator is implementation-defined. An additional random generator (which is considerably faster) is a PCG, though it is not cryptographically strong. The default random number generator in 8th is a cryptographically strong one using Fortuna, which is seeded from the system's entropy provider. Note that neither LCGs nor GFSRs should be used for the most demanding applications (cryptography) without additional steps.ġ1l uses a linear congruential generator accessed via the built-in random module. The last main type is where the output of one of the previous ones (typically a Mersenne twister) is fed through a cryptographic hash function to maximize unpredictability of individual bits. The main types of pseudo-random number generator ( PRNG) that are in use are the Linear Congruential Generator ( LCG), and the Generalized Feedback Shift Register ( GFSR), (of which the Mersenne twister generator is a subclass). Note: the task is not to create an RNG, but to report on the languages in-built RNG that would be the most likely RNG used.
If possible, give a link to a wider explanation of the algorithm used. If the language or its immediate libraries don't provide a random number generator, skip this task. State the type of random number generator algorithm used in a language's built-in random number generator. You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
