rand()

Hi all,
Is the rand() function in C uniform or normal distribution. If it is unform, is there a random function that is normal.
Thanks and Regards

fork and rand()

Hi, I want build 10 processus with fork and that each processus write a value betwen 0 and 9 , but each processus send the same value . So my code ,you can compile and try . #include <time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ipc.h> ... (7 Replies)

NAME
zlarnv.f - SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines subroutine zlarnv (IDIST, ISEED, N, X) ZLARNV returns a vector of random numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. Function/Subroutine Documentation subroutine zlarnv (integerIDIST, integer, dimension( 4 )ISEED, integerN, complex*16, dimension( * )X) ZLARNV returns a vector of random numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. Purpose: ZLARNV returns a vector of n random complex numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. Parameters: IDIST IDIST is INTEGER Specifies the distribution of the random numbers: = 1: real and imaginary parts each uniform (0,1) = 2: real and imaginary parts each uniform (-1,1) = 3: real and imaginary parts each normal (0,1) = 4: uniformly distributed on the disc abs(z) < 1 = 5: uniformly distributed on the circle abs(z) = 1 ISEED ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4) On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be odd. On exit, the seed is updated. N N is INTEGER The number of random numbers to be generated. X X is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (N) The generated random numbers. Author: Univ. of Tennessee Univ. of California Berkeley Univ. of Colorado Denver NAG Ltd. Date: September 2012 Further Details: This routine calls the auxiliary routine DLARUV to generate random real numbers from a uniform (0,1) distribution, in batches of up to 128 using vectorisable code. The Box-Muller method is used to transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution. Definition at line 100 of file zlarnv.f.
