Famous quotes containing the words random and/or number:

    “Novels as dull as dishwater, with the grease of random sentiments floating on top.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    “Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
