Pseudorandom number generators use mathematical algorithms to produce a sequence
of numbers with good statistical properties, but the numbers produced are not
genuinely random. The std::rand()
function takes a seed (number), runs a
mathematical operation on it and returns the result. By manipulating the seed
the result can be predictable. This check warns for the usage of
std::rand()
.
