This code generates a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) using a random number generator and string manipulation. The UUID generated follows the version 4 UUID format, which is commonly used for generating unique identifiers in various applications.

The generated UUID consists of 32 hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens in the form: `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`, where `x` represents a random hexadecimal digit and `y` represents a random hexadecimal digit from the set `[8, 9, A, or B]`.

The purpose of generating a UUID is to ensure that each generated identifier is unique, reducing the chances of collisions when using these identifiers in distributed systems or when creating unique references.
