11.9. Glossary

deterministic:

A program that does the same thing every time it is run.

pseudorandom:

A sequence of numbers that appear to be random, but which are actually the product of a deterministic computation.

seed:

A value used to initialize a random number sequence. Using the same seed should yield the same sequence of values.

bottom-up design:

A method of program development that starts by writing small, useful functions and then assembling them into larger solutions.

histogram:

A vector of integers where each integer counts the number of values that fall into a certain range.
