What is the probability that a random number generator function will generate unique numbers.
Will the probability be same when the numbers are in the natural number space and real number space.

According to what distribution are the numbers generated? What set are the numbers drawn from?

What's your definition of a 'unique' number? Is $frac1sqrt2$ a unique number?

"a random number generator" is incredibly vague. Do you take all RNG's ever devised (including this one), and pick one at random, or do you have a specific one in mind? Because there are a lot of different ones with very varying amounts of unpredictability.
