setRandomSeed ZZ -- set starting point for random number generator

Synopsis:

Usage: setRandomSeed i

Function: setRandomSeed -- set starting point for random number generator

Input:

i, an instance of class ZZ.

Output:

i, an instance of class Thing.

Sets the random number seed to the low-order 32 bits of the integer i. The sequence of future pseudo-random results is determined by the seed.
