The form of the question "How many..." does not suggest you want to learn random algorithms. Is is a test or interview question. Answering, say, 5 won't add any knowledge or skill. So, this is the abuse of this forum.

As to another question, what is best... "Best" is not defined. It depends. The question would make some sense if it would be needed for some application.

That's not really a question we can answer, "best" and "efficient" are not quantifiable terms.
Is an algorithm the best if it generates the "most random" data? Or generates data the fastest?

If you want true randomness, (or at least about as close as you will get today) have a look here: http://www.random.org/[^]
It's excellent, and quick, but it doesn't use an algorithm...

I suggest that you start reading: Wiki is a good start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation[^]
