Randomness

Abstract

We are almost at the end of our journey. Assuming you have gone through all the chapters in this book, you will have seen many data structures and algorithms that you will encounter as a developer, builder, programmer, or whatever term you use to describe yourself. From this chapter onward, we will cover additional topics in DSA. Of course, there are more topics you may encounter, but with the foundation of knowledge you currently have, you should be able to understand them. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss randomness in computers. This topic is useful because often when designing your own algorithms, you may need to use random numbers for some purpose. There are even randomized algorithms that utilize the concept of randomness for their operation. This chapter helps you understand what is going on under the hood.
