How do I seed the random number generator?

To initialize, or "seed," the random number generator, follow these steps:

1.    On the Calculator app page, type in a number (for example: 1234).

2.    Press z.

3.    Press n, then press the right arrow key to PROB, select 1: rand and press =.

This initializes, or "seeds" the random number generator to be unique based upon the value stored in rand.
