Computers are deterministic machines by design: equal input data results in equal output, given the same internal state. Sometimes, applications require seemingly non-deterministic behaviour, usually provided by generating random numbers. Such application
Boost Random Number Library
Random numbers are useful in a variety of applications. The Boost Random Number Library (Boost.Random for short) provides a vast variety of generators and distributions to produce random numbers having useful properties, such as uniform distribution.
