Toolbox – RNG

Ever need to produce random numbers to test something out? Random.org is a quick and simple way to produce random integers, integer sets, sequences, and decimal numbers. Not only that, it can also be used to produce random lists of inputted information, strings, clock times, calendar dates, geographic coordinates, and all sorts of other things. You can also learn about how random numbers work if you were ever curious about how they are really generated.

Started in 1998 by Prof. Mads Haahr, Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, random.org offers true random numbers that are based on atmospheric noise, which is typically better than pseudo-random number generators that are machine-based.

It’s a good tool to have in your development toolbox if you ever need some reliable random generation.
