Per doc link, srand uses MT by default.
and also how do I get my random numbers
rand() for floats less than 1 by default, or specify a set to choose from:
help?> rand
search: rand randn rand! randn! randexp randperm randjump randexp!
randcycle randsubseq randstring randsubseq! RandomDevice srand sprand
sprandn sprandbool bitrand transcode
rand([rng=GLOBAL_RNG], [S], [dims...])
Pick a random element or array of random elements from the set of values
specified by S; S can be
• an indexable collection (for example 1:n or ['x','y','z']), or
• a type: the set of values to pick from is then equivalent to
typemin(S):typemax(S) for integers (this is not applicable to BigInt), and
to [0, 1) for floating point numbers;
what do the different fields mean?
The fields aren't intended to be accessed, but you can see each element
name with:
julia> fieldnames(MersenneTwister)
4-element Array{Symbol,1}:
:seed
:state
:vals
:idx
How do I acutally set the seed

Why?
