Pseudo Code Generator

Pseudo-Random Number Generator from Seed

This function generates a pseudo-random number of specified length using an integer seed to initialize randomness. It constructs the number by iterating and updating the seed via a mathematical formula before returning the result as a

Answer

Pseudo Code for Generating a Random Number Based on a Seed Value

Function Purpose

To generate a pseudo-random number of a specified length using a seed value.

Input Parameters

seed: an integer that initializes the random number generation process.
length: an integer that specifies the number of digits in the generated random number.

Output

Returns a string representing the generated pseudo-random number.

Pseudo Code

FUNCTION generate_random_number(seed, length):
    INITIALIZE random_number AS empty string
    
    FOR each digit FROM 1 to length DO:
        seed = (seed * 7 + 3) MOD 10  // Update the seed using the specified formula
        random_number = random_number + CONVERT seed TO string  // Append the digit to random_number
    
    RETURN random_number  // Return the generated random number as a string

Explanation

Initialization: Start with an empty string random_number that will hold the result.
Loop: Iterate a number of times equal to the specified length.
- In each iteration, apply the mathematical operations to modify the seed.
- The updated seed is constrained to a single digit (0-9) using the modulus operator.
- Convert the seed to a string and append it to random_number.
Return Statement: After constructing the random number, return it as a string.
