I am looking for suggestions for the following algorithm:
Say I have a “seed” number (or string of digits or letters). E.g. “382622” (does not matter how many digits, so if you think it should be a certain number of digits, please let me know). This “seed” number will never change.
Then I want to generate a number or a string of digits (or letters) that I can “equate” to the above mentioned “seed” number. And I want the generated number or string to be different every time I “request” it. The key is that the newly generated number or string can be equated to the "seed" number. It can be "equated" via a formula or a function or whatever.
I hope I am clear in my explanation.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
