HI,
I need to generate a long random number upto 4 byte width
but my compiler is generating 2 byte int type as RAND_MAX
i want to genetrate a rand num like 123456789 that long
plz help me.
thanks for helping

Something like:
randomnumber1 = rand();
randomnumber2 = rand();
longrandomnumbe r = (randonumber1 << 16) | randonmumber2;
Better ways to generate 4 byte randon mumber can be found on the Internet.

longrandomnumbe r = (randonumber1 << 16) | randonmumber2;
I use this too, but I have something else:
So, It is in x86 Assembly, I convert it ;-)
--------- seed is the seed ;-) -----------
mov eax, [seed]
mul eax, 343fdh
add eax, 269ec3h
mov [seed],eax
---------first time random = seed-------
random = random * 0x343fd + 0x269ec3;
----------------------------------------
This is part of code which produce VC++ 6.0 compiler for 'rand()'
I have changed this code to return 32 bit random values
Look at a http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/matumoto/emt.html it is really good.

Can any tell me why rand() is such a bad pseudo-random number generator.
In all the articles I have read they say that you can predict the outcome
of rand() but when I used its output with NIST's random number testsuite
it passed all of the tests thrown at it for randomness. Can anyone
suggest a test I could use that it would fail? A pointer to a suitable
article would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Tom

I have a simulation program that calls the rand() function at various points
while it executes.
For the user interface that displays statistics etc. while the program runs,
I use the Lazarus GUI library, which is based on GTK. Depending on which
libraries I link in, I can have either a GTK1 or GTK2 user interface.
I'm finding that the simulation behaves differently depending on whether I
link with GTK1 or GTK2.

When I use rand(), is the RAND_MAX value how long I am guaranteed that
the same value will not appear twice?
And is this a floating window?
For example, if RAND_MAX is 32767, and I make 500,000 consecutive rand
calls then is the rand() algorithm going to guarantee me that no
floating window of calls over that 500,000 rand calls will have the
same value twice? The only way that would work is if the series was
identical everytime.

Hi all,
I'm writing a shell language in c++ that supports the generation of
random numbers, and by its nature, each command must be executed in a
new thread. The call to the random function from my language simply
propogates up to the rand( ) function from c++. For some reason, C++
will give each thread independent use of their own rand( ) function, so
that a rand( ) call from one thread won't affect another thread's call
to rand( )....

Quick rand() question:
I know you're not supposed to use "rand() % 1024" for instance,
because it focuses on the lower bits. However, it seems to me that
given that the argument is not a power of two (or near a power of
two), that this is not an issue. The upper bits will participate
equally in the result with the lower. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
