This is under the assumption that if I make a new random number generator and feed it a seed it will always repeat the same pattern at run time for example lets say my random number generator outputs the following, one digit at a time:

123456789

Is there a way to save the state of the random number generator? So that I could run the program and have it return:

Then save the state; end the program; fire it back up and it will then return:

Apologizes if Stack Overflow isn't the place for this vague concept.

If the pattern is predicable then it isn't really random. – juharr Apr 05 '16 at 18:35
