+# Pseudo-random generator
+
+There are many areas where we need random data.
+
+One of them is testing. We may need random data: text, numbers etc, to test things out well.
+
+In Javascript, we could use `Math.random()`. But if something goes wrong, we'd like to be able to repeat the test, using exactly the same data.
+
+For that, so called "seeded pseudo-random generators" are used. They take a "seed", the first value, and then generate next ones using a formula. So that the same seed yields the same sequence, and hence the whole flow is easily reproducible. We only need to remember the seed to repeat it.
+
+An example of such formula, that generates somewhat uniformly distributed values:
+
+```
+next = previous * 16807 % 2147483647
+```
+
+If we use `1` as the seed, the values will be:
+1. `16807`
+2. `282475249`
+3. `1622650073`
+4. ...and so on...
+
+The task is to create a generator function `pseudoRandom(seed)` that takes `seed` and creates the generator with this formula.
+
+Usage example:
+
+```js
+let generator = pseudoRandom(1);
+
+alert(generator.next().value); // 16807
+alert(generator.next().value); // 282475249
+alert(generator.next().value); // 1622650073
+```
