Why does this code using random strings print “hello world”?

Anonymous User 1834 06 May 2015
I came across this piece of code, and found it rather interesting. The following print statement would print "hello world". Could anyone explain this?

System.out.println(randomString(-229985452) + " " + randomString(-147909649));
And randomString() looks like this

public static String randomString(int i)
{
    Random ran = new Random(i);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    while (true)
    {
        int k = ran.nextInt(27);
        if (k == 0)
            break;
        sb.append((char)('`' + k));
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

I am a content writter !
