Line 833: =={{header\|ZX Spectrum Basic}}== The ZX Spectrum uses a ~~pseudorandom~~Park-Miller (also called a Lehmer) number generator that ~~derives~~produces ~~its~~a ~~numbers~~number between 0 and nearly 1 from a ~~set~~sequence; ofthe ~~values~~RANDOMIZE ~~stored~~command can leap to a new entry in the ~~system~~sequence. Multiply the output of RND by 65536 to see the sequence more ~~ROM~~clearly. The random numbers produced will repeat after ~~65535~~65536 iterations.
