Talk:Random number generation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is redundant with Randomization and Random number generator. However, I believe it's important to make the bridge between the two.
Randomization is about taking elements and putting them in random order (i.e. shuffling) (or maybe also selecting a random subset), generating random numbers is about just creating numbers at random. The two processes are fairly equivalent.
I believe that random number generator could be merged into this page. Flammifer 09:06, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
the odd thing about this is the fact that i clicked on the Random Article link and this was the page that came up :)
- Yes, it should be merged with random number generator at the least. Richard001 05:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I think it should be the other way round. A random number generator is an important kind of computer programme. Random number generation is the technique it uses. FSharpMajor 11:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
