Generating random numbers in Fortran

• Unless you already understand what is meant by ``pseudorandom numbers,'' you'd better read a brief explanation of `What is a pseudorandom number sequence?'
• If you understand the limitations of pseudorandom numbers, you can proceed to a discussion of `Repeatable pseudorandom sequences in Fortran'.
• If you want a different pseudorandom sequence each time your program runs, see the explanation of `Non-repeating pseudorandom sequences in Fortran'.
• To learn how to get random numbers in any range, see `Scaling random numbers in Fortran'.
• Finally, look at `A sample random number Fortran program'.
