Random numbers can be used for many different things.
Personally i use the rand() directive for security measures to define a session identifier.
Also i use the rand feature (sometimes) for user authentication while using captcha images.
basically, when you need a random number, use rand() ;)
Random numbers that are generated by a computer are pseudo-random (not really random), but they will pass enough statistical tests for randomness to be useful in simulation random processes. Java has random number generators in the standard libraries. See the related link if you need more information.
Cause they r cause u neva no if dere come in useful cause it happend to me once
Random numbers can be generated in Java using the "random" class. One needs a single "random" object to generate a series of random numbers as a unit.
Random numbers cannot be generated programatically. For pseudo-random numbers use function 'rand'.
To pick random results from an array in PHP you will need to use the array_rand() function, you can select the amount of results you wish it too select too. <?php $array = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10); $rand_results = array_rand($array, 3); // will select 3 random results from the array and store in a new array ?>

It is easy for coding and useful for many categories of websites.
It depends on your work however Face book and MySpace both are coded in PHP. As PHP is used by a lot of programmers so you'll probably have to make quite useful and advanced programs in order to be in demand.
This is not a question - just four random words.
Random numbers
It depends, if the random numbers are generated by computer, they can always be predicted if we know the code. If they are picked from a hat, or by one of many other methods of picking truly random numbers, we cannot.
Generation of random numbers is not a simple process. In order for a number to be truly random it must be uniformly distributed (each random number in the interval of random numbers has equal chance of being selected), efficiently generated (the random numbers hsould not degenerate into constant values or recycle too frequently) and absent of patterns. Computers can generate random numbers using a mathematical process that artificially creates psuedorandom numbers more efficiently than true random numbers can be generated in a process akin to spinning the roulette wheel.
