Well the C source does not compile on a current update, 19-01-2020, Linux Mint 19 using gcc 7.4.0 so here is a completely simplified and modified version for gcc 4.2.1 and 7.4.0...
The printf function will need to edited for it to work.
It is set up for Linux, (Mint 19), using gcc 7.4.0.
You can still leave to original as it is for OSX 10.14.6+ as it won't affect the performance at all, but you can edit this in instead and have both capable with the minor alteration shown...

$(((RANDOM%(max-min+divisibleBy))/divisibleBy*divisibleBy+min))

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?

Hi all...
This is just a fun project to see if it is possible to get a square root of a positive integer from 1 to 9200000 to 6 decimal places on a 64 bit architecture machine.
It is coded around dash and the results show the values from 0 to 10000.
Complex numbers can easily be catered for by... (3 Replies)

tk_getdash
Tk_GetDash(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetDash(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tk_GetDash - convert from string to valid dash structure.
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetDash(interp, string, dashPtr)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting.
const char * string (in) Textual value to be converted.
Tk_Dash *dashPtr (out) Points to place to store the dash pattern value converted from string.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
These procedure parses the string and fills in the result in the Tk_Dash structure. The string can be a list of integers or a character
string containing only ".,-_" or spaces. If all goes well, TCL_OK is returned. If string does not have the proper syntax then TCL_ERROR is
returned, an error message is left in the interpreter's result, and nothing is stored at *dashPtr.
The first possible syntax is a list of integers. Each element represents the number of pixels of a line segment. Only the odd segments are
drawn using the "outline" color. The other segments are drawn transparent.
The second possible syntax is a character list containing only 5 possible characters ".,-_ ". The space can be used to enlarge the space
between other line elements, and can not occur as the first position in the string. Some examples:
-dash . = -dash {2 4}
-dash - = -dash {6 4}
-dash -. = -dash {6 4 2 4}
-dash -.. = -dash {6 4 2 4 2 4}
-dash {. } = -dash {2 8}
-dash , = -dash {4 4}
The main difference of this syntax with the previous is that it is shape-conserving. This means that all values in the dash list will be
multiplied by the line width before display. This assures that "." will always be displayed as a dot and "-" always as a dash regardless
of the line width.
On systems where only a limited set of dash patterns, the dash pattern will be displayed as the most close dash pattern that is available.
For example, on Windows only the first 4 of the above examples are available. The last 2 examples will be displayed identically as the
first one.
