 ====== Chess - Programming - PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator) ======
-Pseudo Random Number Generator(PRNG) refers to an algorithm that uses mathematical formulas to produce sequences of random numbers.
+**Pseudo Random Number Generator(PRNG)** refers to an algorithm that uses mathematical formulas to produce sequences of random numbers.
   * PRNGs generate a sequence of numbers approximating the properties of random numbers.

 Widely used PRNG algorithms include: Lagged Fibonacci generators, linear feedback shift registers, Blum Blum Shub.

-===== How PRNG works? =====
-**Linear Congruential Generator** is most common and oldest algorithm for generating pseudo-randomized numbers.
-The generator is defined by the recurrence relation:
-<code>
-Xn+1 = (aXn + c) mod c
-</code>
-**NOTE:**  where
-  * **X** is the sequence of pseudo-random values.
-  * **m**, 0< m- modulus.
-  * **a**, 0< a <m- multiplier.
-  * **c**, 0< = c<m- increment.
-  * **x0**, 0<=x0<m- the seed or start value.
-The next random integer is generated using the previous random integer, the integer constants, and the integer modulus.
-  * To get started, the algorithm requires an initial Seed, which must be provided by some means.
-  * The appearance of randomness is provided by performing modulo arithmetic.
