  That expression is somewhat incorrect because you do not place anything
into SEED().
  seed() is just a function which returns a seed value (which is calculated
from the parameter given to it). This seed value can then be given
(repeatedly) to the rand() function.

  Seed values are independent in that they do not interfere with each
other (which is a rather handy feature).
