Meaning of random (what is it, concept and definition)

What is Random:

Random is a word from English that we can translate into Spanish as random, fortuitous, or casual.

Random , in this sense, is that which depends on chance; that it does not obey any method or criterion, and the result of which is always unknown and unexpected. For example: "Song playback is in random mode."

The word entered the vocabulary of Spanish-speakers because many of the technologies we consume, from English-speaking countries, contain the word random among their functions.

Thus, for example, the random playback of songs in our player, the random display of photographs ( random pics ) or the random choice of contacts on Twitter, are some of the environments in which we are most used to finding this word. Whereas, on the other hand, those who work in Java programming probably use the term when referring to random number generation .

Currently, its use has been extended to areas outside of technology and unnecessarily, since there are words in Spanish that designate what you want to express.

For example, when we are playing poker and a random card deal is made, there is no reason to say it is a random card deal, nor does it go without saying that we are going to watch a random movie because we select it randomly. And much less is there any need to say that a boy is random because he is a variable or unexpected person.
