Random number simulation

The availability of random numbers is a necessary requirement in many applications. In some cases, the quality of the final application strictly depends on the possibility of generating good quality random numbers. Think, for example, of applications such as video games, cryptography, generating visuals or sound effects, telecommunications, signal processing, optimizations, and simulations. In an algorithm of this type, decisions are made based on the pull of a virtual currency, which is based on a randomly chosen value.

There is no single or general definition of a random number since it often depends on the context. The concept of random number itself is not absolute, as any number or sequence of numbers can appear to be random to an observer, but not to another who knows the law with which they are generated. Put simply, a random number is defined as a number selected in a random process from a finite set of numbers. With this definition, we focus on...
