Is this Similar or Different

[Angela]

I know about random number generation but what does the term seed random means. Is this same as random number if not what is the difference?

The random seed is also refereed as seed state or seed. This indicates a number and sometimes a vector and is used for initializing a pseudorandom number generator. Thus it is used for random number generation and does not refer the same term.

Seed is used to set the starting point for generating a series of random numbers. If you use the same seed everytime, you will get the same set of numbers everytime. To avoid it, use a unique seed (microsoft uses number of seconds since 1970 or something similar) so everytime you run the random number generator, you get a different set of random numbers.
