#####-SUB-#####################################################################
# Type       : INSTANCE
# Purpose    : A place-holder for the function to get n random numbers.
# Returns    : NOTHING - but in subclasses should return an array of random
#              numbers between 0 and 1.
# Arguments  : 1) the number of random numbers needed to generate a single
#                 password.
# Throws     : ALWAYS throws an error to say this class must be extended, and
#              this function must be overridden.
# Notes      :
# See Also   :
## no critic (Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn);
