How do I seed the random number generator?

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

1.    On the Calculator page, type in a number e.g. 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.

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