About the Randomosity Tester

This page tests the frequency distribution and timing of random number generation via these methods:

SQLite ORDER BY RANDOM()
PHP rand()
PHP mt_rand()
PHP random_int()

Random number results are stored in a test table. The test table is defined as:

CREATE TABLE 'test' ( 'id' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, 'frequency' INTEGER DEFAULT '0' );

The table is initialized by creating all rows with frequency = 0. The number of rows in the table is defined by the range setting. The current test is set to use range: 1 to 5,000.

For each random number chosen, the table is updated via:

UPDATE test SET frequency = frequency + 1 WHERE id = :random_number

For SQLite tests, results are individually generated via the SQL call:

SELECT id FROM test ORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1;

Generate more random numbers by clicking a + number button to start a test run.

Each test run is limted to ~1.42 seconds.

A Frequency of Frequencies chart displays:

Frequency: the list of unique frequencies (the number of times a row was randomly selected)
Rows: the number of rows for each frequency present
