In this article, we will implement the linear congruential generator for pseudo random number generation in Java. Pseudo random number generator (PRNG) are mainly used in simulations, cryptography, or mathematical tasks. What is an LCG? A Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) is a technique to generate a sequence of numbers that looks like random numbers but are actually determined. It is one of the reasons to call it a pseudo-random number. The Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) technique generates a random number based on the previous number and uses linear recurrence to generate the sequence of the random number. Mathematical Formula We can ...
