well, I just gave you a general framework for initializing and using a pseudo-random number generator. If you initialize it with the same seed, you get the same pseudo-random sequence. (sometimes uselful, if you want to check that you get the same results from seemingly random computation) So if you restart your computation from the very beginning, inclusing the initializing of the random seed with the same value, you will get the same data each time you do the computation. But if you want to emulate true randomness, you only have to initialize the seed once. HTH, Dmitrii -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
