Does my solution work, or do you have different requirements? Note that my solution will return the same value if called more than once a second!

Hi I want to genrate 10 random 32 bit binary numbers with hamming distance 4 and 8.

if we look carefully at these two binary numbers they differ at 4 places hence hamming distance 4. Now I want to genrate these numbers... (2 Replies)

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

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;

seed1=$RANDOM
seed2=$RANDOM
seed3=$RANDOM
SEED=`expr $seed1 * $seed2 / $seed3`
echo ${SEED%.*}

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?

sptrfs.f
sptrfs.f(3) LAPACK sptrfs.f(3)
NAME
sptrfs.f -
SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines
subroutine sptrfs (N, NRHS, D, E, DF, EF, B, LDB, X, LDX, FERR, BERR, WORK, INFO)
SPTRFS
Function/Subroutine Documentation
subroutine sptrfs (integerN, integerNRHS, real, dimension( * )D, real, dimension( * )E, real, dimension( * )DF, real, dimension( * )EF, real,
dimension( ldb, * )B, integerLDB, real, dimension( ldx, * )X, integerLDX, real, dimension( * )FERR, real, dimension( * )BERR, real,
dimension( * )WORK, integerINFO)
SPTRFS
Purpose:
SPTRFS improves the computed solution to a system of linear
equations when the coefficient matrix is symmetric positive definite
and tridiagonal, and provides error bounds and backward error
estimates for the solution.
Parameters:
N
N is INTEGER
The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
NRHS
NRHS is INTEGER
The number of right hand sides, i.e., the number of columns
of the matrix B. NRHS >= 0.
D
D is REAL array, dimension (N)
The n diagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
E
E is REAL array, dimension (N-1)
The (n-1) subdiagonal elements of the tridiagonal matrix A.
DF
DF is REAL array, dimension (N)
The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D from the
factorization computed by SPTTRF.
EF
EF is REAL array, dimension (N-1)
The (n-1) subdiagonal elements of the unit bidiagonal factor
L from the factorization computed by SPTTRF.
B
B is REAL array, dimension (LDB,NRHS)
The right hand side matrix B.
LDB
LDB is INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array B. LDB >= max(1,N).
X
X is REAL array, dimension (LDX,NRHS)
On entry, the solution matrix X, as computed by SPTTRS.
On exit, the improved solution matrix X.
LDX
LDX is INTEGER
The leading dimension of the array X. LDX >= max(1,N).
FERR
FERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The forward error bound for each solution vector
X(j) (the j-th column of the solution matrix X).
If XTRUE is the true solution corresponding to X(j), FERR(j)
is an estimated upper bound for the magnitude of the largest
element in (X(j) - XTRUE) divided by the magnitude of the
largest element in X(j).
BERR
BERR is REAL array, dimension (NRHS)
The componentwise relative backward error of each solution
vector X(j) (i.e., the smallest relative change in
any element of A or B that makes X(j) an exact solution).
WORK
WORK is REAL array, dimension (2*N)
INFO
INFO is INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
Internal Parameters:
ITMAX is the maximum number of steps of iterative refinement.
