The sequence of random numbers are shared across the entire process, and not independently seeded. Therefore, the pseudo random number generation is not suitable for any application which requires completely predictable or completely unpredictable results.

Articles in this category need examples written for them. To do that set the 'examples' value equal to an multiline string.

Example: llFrand (the order of the parameters in the definition has no effect on the rendering).

|return_type=float
|return_text=that is pseudo random number in the range [0.0,mag) or (mag, 0.0].
|spec=returns a pseudo random number in range [0.0, mag) or (mag, 0.0], depending upon the sign of mag.
