I want a way to set a random seed like this:

`random([1,2,3], seed)` but instead of being a seed, `seed` just tells how many times desmos should make a random outcome of `[1,2,3]`. For example, `random([1,2,3], 5)` would give something like `[2,3,1,3,3]`.

Thanks

```auto
S = [1, 2, 3]
s_ize = 4
s_eed = 1
R = S.random(s_ize, s_eed)

```
