前言
事情起源于一位网友分享了一个有趣的面试题：
生成由六位数字组成的ID，要求随机数字，不排重，不可自增，且数字不重复。ID总数为几十万。
初次解答
我一开始想到的办法是
- 生成一个足够大的ID池（其实就是需要多少就生成多少）
- 对ID池中的数字进行随机排序
- 依次消费ID池中的数字
可惜这个方法十分浪费空间，且性能很差。
初遇梅森旋转算法
后面咨询了网友后得知了一个高效的随机数算法：梅森旋转（Mersenne Twister/MT）。通过搜索资料得知：
梅森旋转算法（Mersenne twister）是一个伪随机数发生算法。由松本真和西村拓士在1997年开发，基于有限二进制字段上的矩阵线性递归。可以快速产生高质量的伪随机数，修正了古典随机数发生算法的很多缺陷。最为广泛使用Mersenne Twister的一种变体是MT19937，可以产生32位整数序列。
PS：此算法依然无法完美解决面试题，但是也算学到了新知识
