With some trepidation, here are numbers meeting your stated requirements...
But since this seems like homework, I won't post the script that generated the numbers
Hi,
I am having trouble with generating random numbers. can this be done with awk?
So I have a file that looks like this:
23 30
24 40
26 34
So column1 is start and column2 is end. I want to generate 3 random #'s between start and stop:
So the output will look like this:

Im new to C, and Im having a hard time getting a random number.
In bash, I would do something similar to the following to get a random number;
#!/bin/bash
seed1=$RANDOM
seed2=$RANDOM
seed3=$RANDOM
SEED=`expr $seed1 * $seed2 / $seed3`
echo ${SEED%.*}
Now, in online examples... (4 Replies)
I want to generate an awk function that generated a Gaussian distributed set of random numbers. I need to implement the thing below in awk. Rnd is just a uniform random number between 0 and 1
function rgaussian(r1, r2) {

v1 = 2 * Rnd - 1
v2 = 2 * Rnd - 1

Hi,
How can I generate a string of random characters (alpha+numeric) of a particular length ?
For e.g. for
n=5, output = 'kasjf'
n=10, output = 'hedbcd902k'
Also, please let me know if random (valid) dates could also be generated.
Thanks (7 Replies)
Hi Guys and gals...
As you know I am getting to grips with POSIX and hit this stumbling block.
Generating two random numbers 0 to 255 POSIXly. Speed in not important hence the 'sleep 1' command.
I have done a demo that works, but it sure is ugly! Is there a better way?

srand
rand(3UCB) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Library Functions rand(3UCB)NAME
rand, srand - simple random number generator
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/cc[ flag ... ] file ...
int rand()
int srand( seed);
unsigned seed;
DESCRIPTION
rand() uses a multiplicative congruential random number generator with period 2**32 to return successive pseudo-random numbers in the range
from 0 to "2**31 -1."
srand() can be called at any time to reset the random-number generator to a random starting point. The generator is initially seeded with a
value of 1.
SEE ALSO drand48(3C), rand(3C), random(3C)NOTES
Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications written on BSD platforms. Use of these interfaces with any of the system
libraries or in multi-thread applications is unsupported.
The spectral properties of rand() leave a great deal to be desired. drand48(3C) and random(3C) provide much better, though more elaborate,
random-number generators.
The low bits of the numbers generated are not very random; use the middle bits. In particular the lowest bit alternates between 0 and 1.
