In this recipe, we discuss the standard support for generating pseudo-random numbers. Understanding the difference between random and pseudo-random numbers is the key. On the other hand, being familiar with various statistical distributions is a plus. It is mandatory, though, that you know what a uniform distribution is because all engines in the library produce numbers that are uniformly distributed.
