pseudorandom number

A number generated by an algorithm that produces a series of numbers with no discernible pattern. It should be impossible or nearly impossible to deduce the algorithm from such a series. However, unlike a truly random number generator, a pseudorandom number generator always produces the same series if the algorithm is given the same starting value or values.
