TI-83 Plus Math, Angle, and Test Operations 93
With each
rand
execution, the TI-83 Plus generates the same random-
number sequence for a given seed value. The TI-83 Plus factory-set
seed value for
rand
is
0
. To generate a different random-number
sequence, store any nonzero seed value to
rand
. To restore the factory-
set seed value, store
0
to
rand
or reset the defaults (Chapter 18).
Note: The seed value also affects
randInt(
,
randNorm(
, and
randBin(
instructions.
