Summary

Description
English: Visualisation of generation of pseudo-random numbers in [0, 8] using a linear congruential generator. The top two rows show a generator with m = 9, a = 2 and c = 0 outputting numbers from left to right. A seed of 1 gives a cycle length of 6 but a seed of 3 gives a cycle length of only 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a full cycle length of 9 with any seed.
