public random(as183)Remarks:
Multiple random number generators: To define multiple random number generators, simply extend this object. The derived objects must send to self the
reset_seed/0message.Randomness: Loading this object always initializes the random generator seed to the same value, thus providing a pseudo random number generator. The
randomize/1predicate can be used to initialize the seed with a random value.
