in reply to Re^3: Predictable random sequence
in thread Predictable random sequence
It does, else it wouldn't be the Mersenne Twister.Which one?
here are at least two common variants of the algorithm, differing only in the size of the Mersenne primes used. The newer and more commonly used one is the Mersenne Twister MT19937, with 32-bit word length. There is also a variant with 64-bit word length, MT19937-64, which generates a different sequence.
