Understanding “randomness”

Question

I can\'t get my head around this, which is more random?

rand()

OR:

rand() * rand()

I´m f

Answer 1

Multiplying numbers would end up in a smaller solution range depending on your computer architecture.

If the display of your computer shows 16 digits rand() would be say 0.1234567890123 multiplied by a second rand(), 0.1234567890123, would give 0.0152415 something you'd definitely find fewer solutions if you'd repeat the experiment 10^14 times.
