Hi @supunkavinda , @captainsafia wrote a really good explanation on how random numbers work and how they are useful. This might interest you:

Related to that library, I think it's just an alternative implementation of a pseudorandom number generator.

They are called "pseudorandom" because the initial value, the seed, determines the result, so they are not truly random.

Hope this helps!
