Random Number Seed

Use this option to specify a nonnegative integer to start the random number stream. Different values produce different outcomes of the algorithm.

Note: Changing the random number seed produces a different realization of the algorithm.

Specify 0 to use the current clock time as the seed.

To Change the Random Number Seed:

Either highlight the existing value and enter the desired value in the text field, or move the slider to the right or to the left to change the value.

Tip: To change the scale of the slider, right-click on the slider and select Rescale Slider from the pop-up menu. Change the upper and/or lower boundaries in the window that appears, to rescale the slider and click OK.
