Purpose of second argument for math.randomseed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Hi all!
I've noticed that in the new 5.4.0-work2 release math.randomseed has got a new optional second argument.
Quoting the manual:
------------------------------------------------------------
math.randomseed (x [, y])
Sets x and y as the "seed" for the pseudo-random generator: equal seeds produce equal sequences of numbers. The default for y is zero.
------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone knows what's the purpose of the y argument, besides making the seed "bidmensional".
Cheers!
