Details

• Draws from the SAME seeded stream as RandomInteger (call SeedRandom(seed) first for a reproducible sequence) — our own generator, not Wolfram's, so only the shape and range of the answer are guaranteed to match.

Examples

Reseeded explicitly so the example stays reproducible regardless of whatever else has already drawn from this engine's shared stream
