It's deterministic in the sense that if you run the program again with
the same inputs, you will get the same result. This is a highly useful
attribute for testing and debugging.
A non-deterministic problem will give you a different result every
time you run it. Threading problems are an example of this, as are any
dependencies on uninitialized data.
This particular issue is implementation-defined.
would you agree that it is not something the programer can predict in advance?
