 | | Subsequent numbers are: 8, 75, 96, 68, 36, 39, 28, 35, 76, 59, 88, 15, 16, 79, 48. |
 | | Of course one may want random numbers not as integers in a given range, but for example as uniformly distributed real numbers in a certain interval, or perhaps as real numbers of (almost) arbitrary size, but clustered around the origin. |
