Seeding Rnd and Random

I can seed Randomize to assure that I get the same sequence, using Rnd each
time.

I can seed Random to assure that I get the same sequence, using Next, each
time.

Is there any way to seed Randomize so that Rnd starts with same value as
Next?

As a test, I used 9660 as the seed to both.

Rnd then started with 3.
Next started with 354.

Of course, the sequences may end up being different even if the first
number is the same.

Ok, I know that srand( time(NULL) ) isn't such a good idea, but I do it anyway. Why? The clock is an easy source of randomness.

Hi, I am using srand() and would like to create different random numbers during a SINGLE execution of my program because I want to compare random cases.

If you only use a 32 bit seed for a random number generator, does that mean you can only ever produce a maximum of 2^32 (approx 4 billion) different sequences? What about the Mersenne Twister, with it's massive period of 2^19937-1. Will you only ever have access to a tiny portion of this ring of numbers, if you only use a 32-bit seed? Will...

I wrote this question a little differently in the MFC group since it is a bit of a different environment than pure C++, but I hope you will forgive the similarities if anyone is reading both groups. Basically, I need to seed the random number generator in 4 seperate threads at once. So, I can't use the current time as the random seed,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
