Generating random lists of numbers based on seeds

[evalsb]

Hello!

I am quite confused: I would like to generate 2 independent lists of 20 random numbers between 0 and 1. I thought I could achieve this using 2 nodes from MathRandomList with the same parameters in each except for the seed. Yet, I am getting identical numbers even with a different seed (see below). I have tried changing the seeds multiple times but the numbers remain the same. Any idea why?

Thanks

Hmmm… can’t say I have seen this before, but I also detest seeded random…

If you pass a list of seeds into one node do you get the same result?

Seed is an int value, so your decimals are being rounded to the same integer (1) and returning the same list.

Ahhh – yes, that was the issue. Thank you both!
