generating random numbers with hamming distance 4

Hi I want to genrate 10 random 32 bit binary numbers with hamming distance 4 and 8. 11010110010101010101010101010101 11010110010101010100010101010010 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...

Generating random 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: ...

C Help; generating a random number.

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...

Generating a Random String of 'n' length

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

Generating a POSIX random number?

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? #!/bin/sh # Random...

clarnv

clarnv.f(3)							      LAPACK							       clarnv.f(3)

NAME

       clarnv.f -

SYNOPSIS

   Functions/Subroutines
       subroutine clarnv (IDIST, ISEED, N, X)
	   CLARNV

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   subroutine clarnv (integerIDIST, integer, dimension( 4 )ISEED, integerN, complex, dimension( * )X)
       CLARNV

       Purpose:

	    CLARNV 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 array, dimension (N)
		     The generated random numbers.

       Further Details:

	     This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARUV 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.
