Although they are useful in some circumstances,they are not very random. Andy said:
But, in this case, the OP did specifically state that he wanted a pseudo-random sequence.
LFSRs are ideal for this! Nono, Jez meant, they are not even very pseudorandom. You can have a lot of different criteria for a pRNG and LFSR fails in many of them. However, as I said, it IS adequate in many applications. Have a look at that Diehard suite and the surrounding talks. Jan Waclawek |
