Random order?

Is random order what is meant here, or is "any order" sufficient? --Short Circuit 00:16, 6 February 2007 (EST)

Random order means that the order of output is not determined at compile time. The order of output may differ from one execution of the program to another due to differences in timing between the concurrent units providing the output. --Waldorf 11:47, 7 February 2007 (MST)
"Undetermined" might be the more appropriate word. At least one of the programming examples attempts to enforce random behavior. --Short Circuit 14:17, 7 February 2007 (EST)
