Description

RandSeed stores the built-in random number generator's seed.

By assigning a specific value to RandSeed, you can use the Random function to repetitively generate a specific sequence of random numbers. This is useful for applications that deal with data statistics and simulations. For applications that deal with encryption, see the note under the Random function.
