A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is an algorithm that produces a sequence of numbers that appear random but are not truly random. PRNGs are used when true random numbers are not needed or cannot be obtained, as they allow for fast number generation and reproducibility based on a starting seed number derived from factors like the current time. While true random numbers can only be generated from natural random processes, PRNGs produce pseudo-random numbers that are suitable for many purposes.
