// Package rand implements pseudo-random number generators unsuitable for
// security-sensitive work.
//
// Random numbers are generated by a Source. Top-level functions, such as
// Float64 and Int, use a default shared Source that produces a deterministic
// sequence of values each time a program is run. Use the Seed function to
// initialize the default Source if different behavior is required for each run.
// The default Source is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines, but
// Sources created by NewSource are not.
//
// This package's outputs might be easily predictable regardless of how it's
// seeded. For random numbers suitable for security-sensitive work, see the
// crypto/rand package.
