摘要

In this article, we try to see the di?erence between the two words—‘arbitrary’ and ‘random’, which often confuse students. The article is a product of discussions with my batch-mates and juniors who have raised the question, “What isthe di?erence between arbitrary and random?” and “When should we use the word arbitrary and what is its signi?cance?” The article tries to address these questions in general.
