Random ............


I've been studying mad stuff. Really. I had a chapter called Random Numbers. For the sake of the reader, I have broken down the gist of the chapter into a conversation between two friends Binky and Bonky (I'm a bit creatively constipated right now, don't hate me. )

Binky: I have this mad chapter man, its called random numbers. Its rubbish !!

Bonky: How hard can it be ?? I mean its just numbers which are random.

Binky: Yeah they are. But usually the random numbers you use come from a bloody formula to generate random numbers.

Bonky: So ??

Binky: Which means that they're not really random numbers because they have a formula and can be predicted. So they're not random numbers they're just pretending to be random numbers. They're pseudo random numbers !

Bonky: Oh okay so they seem like random numbers. Thats good enough right ?

Binky: No it isn't.

Bonky: Then what do you need to do ??

Binky: I need to test the not so random numbers if they're random enough. And I have a bunch of weird ass tests for it.

Bonky: Your course is useless you know that right ?

Binky: Absolutely.

Bonky: Wanna get some coffee ??

Binky: Sure.

I rest my case.
