Example: Mersenne Twister Random Number Generation

In this example, four simulation streams are generated. The first series is generated with the seed used for initialization. The second series is generated using an array for initialization. The third series is obtained by resetting the generator back to the state it had at the beginning of the second stream. Therefore, the second and third streams are identical. The fourth stream is obtained by resetting the generator back to its original, uninitialized state, and having it reinitialize using the seed. The first and fourth streams are therefore the same.
