Overview

A super simple program I made in an hour. It allows you to simulate how many attempts it would take to get a desired string from random strings.

I made this for fun using the Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister

InfiniteMonkeySimulator is based on the Infinite Monkey Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem
