Random Number Generator
Generate one or multiple **random integers** between a **minimum** and a **maximum** value (inclusive). Configure sorting preferences and control whether duplicate numbers are allowed.

How to use the Random Number Generator
RNG is commonly used for games, sampling, choosing winners, or picking numbers at random.
- Define your bounds: Enter the lowest possible number (Min) and the highest possible number (Max) you want in the pool.
- Specify the count: Choose how many numbers you want to generate in a single run.
- Control duplicates: If you need unique items (like lottery numbers or raffle drawings), select **No duplicates**. If you are modeling die rolls or coin tosses where values can repeat, select **Allow duplicates**.
- Sort results: Opt to sort the output chronologically/sequentially (ascending or descending) or keep them in the random order they were generated.
FAQ
What is a pseudo-random number generator?
Modern computers generate random numbers using mathematical formulas called pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). While not truly random (like atmospheric noise), they are statistically random enough for everyday applications, lottery pools, and games.
Why does it throw an error when generating too many unique numbers?
If you request more unique numbers than the size of the range, the generator runs out of possible values. For example, you cannot get 11 unique numbers from a range of 1 to 10. The calculator validates this constraint before running.
