PRN: Pseudo Random Number

Pseudo Random Number (PRN) is a number which appears to be truly random but is not due to the means used to generate the number. Pseudorandom sequences typically exhibit statistical randomness while being generated by an entirely deterministic computational process. The random number generation functions provided in many software packages are typically pseudorandom.
