Oct 28, 2015 · The rand() function returns a pseudo-random integer in the range 0 to RAND_MAX inclusive (i.e., the mathematical range [0, RAND_MAX]). The srand() function sets its …

Aug 4, 2015 · Many implementations of rand() cycle through a short list of numbers, and the low bits have shorter cycles. The way that some programs call rand() is awful, and calculating a …

Sep 27, 2011 · The c++ rand () function gives you a number from 0 to RAND_MAX (a constant defined in <cstdlib>), which is at least 32767. (from the c++ documentation) The modulus (%) …

Jul 30, 2009 · M + rand() / (RAND_MAX / (N - M + 1) + 1) (Note, by the way, that RAND_MAX is a constant telling you what the fixed range of the C library rand function is. You cannot set …

Oct 24, 2013 · A second lesson is that this shows another way in which <random> is easier to use than rand() and manually computing your own distributions. The built-in …

Oct 18, 2018 · Usage of rand() is usually frowned upon despite using a seed via srand(). Why would that be the case? What better alternatives are available?

The OP's reasoning for trying it was wrong, but had this been necessary, the UB could've been avoided by adding 1.0 instead of 1, which would coerce RAND_MAX to double type and so …

Aug 23, 2010 · The actual implementation of the random number generator is left unspecified, so the actual behavior is specific to the implementation. The important thing to remember is that …

printf("%d\n", rand() % 50); Where is the connection between rand and srand? What I mean or expect is I assume rand () will get some parameter from srand () so it knows to generate …

srand(rand()); This basically just did the same as the program did in the first place but outputted a different set of numbers (which makes sense since the first number generated by rand () is …
