TkResolver++ 0.5.5 (Default branch)
TkResolver++ is a suite of software for conducting experiments into telekinesis (specifically retropsychokinesis.) It uses the output from a random number generator to determine the course of a line as it is drawn down the computer screen. Experiments consist of an operator who attempts to influence the behaviour of the line drawing. The software records in a database the operator's details, the experimental variables, and the observed results. The suite includes programs for conducting visualisation and statistical analysis of the database. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
This release adds a new query language for querying experiments through properties. The analyser has been updated to use the query language. The test and date_time fields in the experiment table have been changed to be properties.Image

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

       cc(1B), 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.
