    Think of initializing the PRNG like initializing a variable … You don’t do

    // pseudo-code
    // print numbers from 1 to 10
    do 10 times
        number_to_print = 1
        print number_to_print
        number_to_print++
    end loop
    

    Likewise, srand() should only be called once per program run.

    call srand() // initialize PRNG
    loop
        rand()
    end loop
