I'm really confused by a lot of the answers on here pertaining to creating same set of random numbers between function calls.

Some people are saying you will get non-repeating numbers if you seed the random function, other the exact opposite. Can someone please show me how this is done in VB.Net?

Goal: 

• I want to have seed: a

• I call the rand function within main: rand(a)

• Given n number of function calls to rand, rand(a) gives set of
 random numbers A,

• Run ends

• I run main again and I expect to get the same set of random numbers
 A

Here's some thoughts:

```
Private Function Generate_Random_Number(Byval Lower as integer, Byval Upper as integer, Byval seed as integer) 
    Dim Random_Value as Integer

    randomize(seed)
    random_value = rand.next(lower, upper + 1)

    Return random value
End Function

Private Sub Main()
    Seed = 100

    For i = 0 to 1 'run this function for two times
        Get_Random_Numbers(Seed)
    Next i
End Sub

Private Sub Get_Random_Numbers(Seed)
    Dim x, y, w, z as integer

    x = Generate_Random_Number(0,1, seed)
    y = Generate_Random_Number(1,2, seed)
    w = Generate_Random_Number(2,3, seed)
    z = Generate_Random_Number(3,4, seed)
End Sub 

```

Suppose the first function call to Get\_Random\_Numbers give me {x = 0, y = 1, w = 2, z = 3}, for whatever reason the next call to Get\_random numbers give me {x = 1, y = 2, w = 3, z= 4} which is completely different from the first time I called this function!

But I'm using the same seed?

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you
