Name

seed — Set the seed value for the random number generator

Usage

Lang.seed(seed)

seed : Number

Description

Seeds the random number generator used by Lang.random( ). If seed is less than zero, uses a random internal value (typically, the system time). Otherwise, uses seed to seed the generator. If seed is a floating-point value, Float.int( ) first converts it to an integer.

Returns the empty string; but if seed can’t be converted to a number, returns invalid.

Examples

Lang.seed(23)

seeds with integer 23 and returns ""

Lang.seed(1.2)

seeds with integer 1 and returns ""

Lang.seed("foo")

returns invalid and doesn’t change the seed.
