In the previous recipe, we have looked at the pseudo-random number library with its components and how it can be used to produce numbers in different statistical distributions. One important factor that was overlooked in that recipe is the proper initialization of the pseudo-random number generators. In this recipe, you will learn how to initialize a generator in order to produce the best sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
