Difference between revisions of "Category:LSL Needs Example"

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

Example: llFrand

|func_helpers |also |notes= The random number generator is not a source of entropy.

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. |cat1=Math |cat2 |cat3 }}
