Randomization algorithms
Since computers cannot generate truely random numbers, they use a cleverly designed algorithm that is unpredictable.
The variable X must be the index of the value if your algorithm generates periodic random numbers.
NOTE: Algorithms 1-4 are made using online applets.
I have two algorithms that uses one variable named X. Notice both values are less random with an X of above -3.34 and below 3.34.
1. y = abs(cos(tan(cos(x*pi)*sin(x/pi)*(x+(x*x))/(pi*(4.149683-(pi*2)))*0.9489832928)))
2. y = abs(atan(asin(cos(sin(x/pi)/cos(x*pi)/(pi/x)))))
I created another (infact, 2 more) simpler algorithms that are more random but require X to be positive.
3. y = abs(sin(x^x))
4. y = abs(cos(x^x))

What?
You lost me there.

You lost me where I lost you there. It's simply a gallery of algorithms to create random numbers.

Yes, I've tested then
...maybe because you kept incrementing X by 1 instead of incrementing X by some low value (e.g. 0.1415926535...)?

If you do that they aren't random either. They just give the illusion of being random don't they?

Re: Randomization algorithms
Is this highschool math and beyond? I'm kinda lost here.
Choo! Choo! All aboard the Moron Express!
