This aesthetic issue extends to both the appearance of the final output and the code. While it was possible to implement one's own pseudo-random number generator in a BASIC problem, doing so would have lengthened and complicated 10 PRINT considerably from the concise and elegant one-liner program that circulated in C64 and PET magazines. | This aesthetic issue extends to both the appearance of the final output and the code.
