How work random.seed() in Python

Question

Who can say me how this work?

Answer 1

The random module uses the “Mersenne Twister: A 623-dimensionally equidistributed uniform pseudorandom number generator”.

random.seed() initializes the generator. The default starting value is the system time.

See https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html
