A random number generator (RNG) is a device or computer program that produces a sequence of seemingly random numbers to be used in various applications. One common variant is the random number generator 1-10, which generates random numbers between 1 and 10, inclusive.
Random number generators play a vital role in fields such as cryptography, gambling, statistics, and scientific research. They provide an element of unpredictability and randomness, which is crucial for ensuring fairness and security. Historically, physical devices like dice and lotteries were used for random number generation, but modern computers have significantly improved the speed and efficiency of the process.
