Random number generator (device) is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
If your system has a means to generate random numbers involving not only a software algorithm (like the /dev/random devices in Unix), show how to obtain a random 32-bit number from that mechanism.
