C/C++ :: Same Random Numbers Being Created Every Time Loop Goes Around

May 20, 2013

one of my project involves loop inside loops and creating random numbers. Here is what I have so far:#include <iostream>

#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

[Code]....

so the program will create a random value for the inflow. The idea is that the internal for loop will continue to run until the fill_level of the reservoir, which starts at 0, hits the capacity. The process of simulating how many years (each iteration of the internal for loop representing a year) is to be repeated 10 times by the parent for loop of the water_level simulation for loop.

The problem is that the random number that is supposed to created are the same number. THey are different every time I run it, but they are the same every time the loops repeat to make a new simulation.

This is my program i have to choose for random number between 1-25 and display them the program works perfectly just that every time i run its always the same numbers.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> // include library to use rand
using namespace std;
int main(){
int winner1; // declare variables
int winner2;

C++ :: Random Generator Generates Same Numbers Each Time?

Apr 24, 2014

The user thinks of a number from 0 to 100 and the program tries to guess it. The problem is, I'm new to random numbers and use a function to generate them that isn't my own. It generates the same numbers each time the program runs, here are screen shots:

Run 1: [URL] .....

Run 2: [URL] .....

I read something about seeding or something, if I need it, must don't give me the answer. If you have the liberty of time explain more to me about the random business.

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int rand_lim(int limit) {

C/C++ :: Quick Sorting Arrays Created With Random Integers

Feb 9, 2014

I am having some problem with my quick sort problem. My program is supposed to create 5 arrays with 5,10,15,and 20 random integers, respectively. Then it should sort those arrays, where the numbers are bigger or smaller than the middle element in the original array! The program I wrote should do that but, its not! The program just keeps running infinitely!

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void p(int k[],int left, int right) {
int i = left, j = right;

C++ :: Random Value At Random Time?

Dec 30, 2013

my motive is to get random variable at every start of program.so it does not show same sequence when it run again and again

int main()
{
srand( time ( NULL ) );
cout<<rand();
}

when i run this program in code::block the following program is opening with error in new tab called TIME.H

C/C++ :: How To End A While Loop After Set Time

Feb 28, 2014

I am trying to make this while loop cut out / self break after 3 seconds. It is part of a simple game I am creating that gives the users 3 seconds to react otherwise it moves on to the next part.

while(1) {
key=getch();
if(key=='a'||key=='k'||key=='g') {
break;
}
}

All I need is it to end after 3 seconds, the rest of the code is working fine.

This sort of thing:

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); //fetch starting time
while(false||(System.currentTimeMillis()-startTime)<10000)
If it IS for C, then I implemented it wrong or something.

C/C++ :: How To Get Random Value For Each Loop

Oct 26, 2014

#include
#include
#include
int main () {
int gameplays, n, prize, choice1;

[Code]....

So in this code, the user inputs the amount of games he/she wants the program to simulate. For each game, a "prize" is randomly placed in one out of three doors. My problem is that for each game simulated, the prize is always placed in the same door. How do i fix this? I used the stand function but it still doesn't work.

C++ :: Compile-time Loop Loops Wrong

Apr 10, 2013

Consider:
Code: template<unsigned int N>
class Test
{
private:

[Code]....

I just cannot understand why (clearly, we are calling <0, 0>, not <0, 8>). If I replace "N" with 8, it works as expected (at least for the beginning of the loop). I only tested on MSVC.

C/C++ :: Finding Average Time Complexity Of A Nested Loop?

Oct 29, 2014

We were discussing how to find average time complexity of different algorithms. Suppose I've a the following nested loop

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
min = i;

[Code].....

Now the outer loop will iterate N times. the inner loop will always iterate 3 times no matter what the value of N is. so the worst case time complexity should be O(n^2) but what about the average case and the best case? I mean in terms of searching we can figure out and distinguish between the worst,best and average as it depends upon the number of comparisons. But here how can the average and best case be different then the worst case.

C++ :: Random Number Generation In A Loop

Jan 2, 2014

I've researched this quite a bit and the overwhelming answer I've been seeing for a loop generating the same pseudo-random number is that you're seeing the random number generator inside the loop, but that is not the case with me . . . At least not that I can see.

Basically, as I mentioned, I have a loop "birthing" new bunnies in a loop. And all the new bunnies are being created with the same name and other details.

Here is the code:

void BunnyGraduation::breed() {
for (unsigned int male = 0; male < colony.size(); male++) {
if (colony.at(male).getSex() == Bunny::Sex::MALE && colony.at(male).getRadioactiveMutantVampireBunny() != true && colony.at(male).getAge() >= AGEOFCONSENT) {
for (unsigned int female = 0; female < colony.size(); female++) {

[Code] ....

srand(time(0)); is seeded ONCE in the constructor of the bunny object itself. . . Now, come to think of it, the constructor is called every time an object is created . . . And the constructor contains the srand() . . . and the constructor is being called in a loop. . . So therefore, yes, the srand() is being called inside the loop.

C :: Random Number Generator Inside / Outside A Loop?

Nov 15, 2013

I've been working on a program on and off for around a week now and I've been struggling towards the end of the program.First of all, the program is a maths quiz which generates two random numbers per question.I'll give you one part of my code:

Code:

srand ( time(NULL) ); //seeds the random number generator
int score = 0;
int a = rand()%12 +1; //generates a random num between 1-12
int b = rand()%12 +1;
int c = a+b;
int d;
}

[code]....

I've basically copied the above code 10 times and changed the variables by going through the alphabet e.g.

Code:

int a = rand()%12 +1; //generates a random num between 1-12
int b = rand()%12 +1;
int c = a+b;
int d; all the way to

Code:

int an = rand()%12 +1;
int ao = rand()%12 +1;
int ap = rand()%12 +1;
int aq = an+ao-ap;
int ar;

Now what I'm going to do is remove all the declared variables and create a loop. But my problem is; If I wanted to declare four variables for e.g.

Code:

int a = rand()%12 +1;
int b = rand()%12 +1;
int c = rand()%12 +1;
int d = a+b-c;

Would I place the srand( time(NULL)); inside the loop? it's confusing because I know an example of a basic loop with an array would be:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{

int test[5]={21,18,47,21,4};
int I;
int total=0;

for (I=0;i<5;i++)
total += test[I];
}

[code]....

how or where to include the random number generator in the loop and to make it ask 10 questions at random.

C++ :: Program To Generate Random Number Between 1 To 100 - While Loop Will Not End

Feb 21, 2014

My program asks me to write a C++ program that generates a random number between 1-100, and lets the user guess the number until he/she guesses correctly.

I have every thing done but my loop will not end. I know I have to "update" the loop to end it but I don't know what that means.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int main() {
srand(time(NULL)); //the function that generates random numbers

C/C++ :: How To Execute For Loop And Generate A Random Number

Oct 24, 2014

I have to write a C++ program that picks a random number between 0 and 49. If the number is even lets say 30, then the computer will display 30, 32, 34, 36... all the way till 100, if its odd lets say 17, then the computer will display 17, 19.. till 99. I got the computer picking a random number, I just can't figure out how to display every other number using a for loop statement. Here's my code for random number generator:
   
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> 
#include <ctime>  
using namespace std;  
int main()

C# :: Infinite Loop Random Boolean Print Statement

Feb 19, 2014

I am working on a small simple program my program fills up a air plane with customers there is 2 levels 1 and 2 and it will put that person in the spot depending on being picked.

So far i made a boolean airplane with 10 spots I can enter 1 person into the airplane with no problem but then after he sits down i get a infinite loop? I assume i maybe have to use the continue statement I feel like there is something simple that im missing i want to add more people. here is what i have

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{ bool[] planeSeats = {false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false };

C++ :: Reading Certain Numbers At A Time From Int File

Sep 15, 2013

I am reading certain int's at a time from one int number stored in a file. I'll explain. I am working on an ezpass project and basically I have to store an int in a file, and from that file, write a program that separates numbers into information.

For example:

the number 204601324 is stored in a file. I know how to open a file from terminal, but the issue is reading the individual numbers. The first number is weight class (2). My program has to display that number as the Variable "weightClass." how do I get it to do that? In addition, miles allowed is the number "0460." How do I get that number to display as the variable "oMiles?"

C++ :: Random Integers (numbers)

Oct 17, 2014

I'm trying to make a C++ program that generate 6 random numbers ( from 100,000 to 999,999 ), okay, so I wrote a few lines..

Code:
srand(time(0));
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
std::cout << 100000 + (rand() % 999999) << std::endl;
}

The problem is, that it generates numbers like this:

117,207
123,303
131,083
... etc etc..

They're all starts with 100K, i want them to be an actual random..

C++ :: Random Numbers Are Not In Specified Range

Nov 9, 2014

My program behaves weird... I wanted to generate 10 random numbers from 1 to 100 each of them bigger than previous, using the while loop and function that returns a random number in specified range.

When I run the program, I get numbers much bigger than 100, even negative number, and numbers are same every time I run the program.

Code:
#include <ctime>#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int range(int low, int high);

C :: Generating Random Numbers

C :: Generate Random Numbers

Mar 17, 2013

I'm trying to generate random numbers so that I can assign people to teams. So far I have come up with this

Code:

int generateTeam(){
int i, teamNumber, c, n;
for (c = 0; c <= 5; c++) {
n = rand()%100 + 1;
}

[code]....

}//end generateTeam I'm not sure how to make it so that I can exclude the previous random number when generating the next one. As an example, I have 22 students and I get the number 19. Now I can't have 19 again because that guy already has it.

Ok so Im suppose to make this program were the user inputs the size of the array then the user sets a certain range min and max for random numbers to be generated. I have a function named fillarray()

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int fillarray();

[Code] ....

Whenever i run the program i keep on getting a loop for the size of the array.

C++ :: Generating Big Random Numbers In C

Feb 16, 2013

I want to generate big random numbers in C(not C++ please).By "big" I mean integers much bigger than srand(time(NULL)) and rand() functions' limit(32767).

I tried writing: (note:I am not able to see "code" tag button in this editor,so I am not using it)

//****
int randomnumber;
srand( time(NULL) );
randomnumber = (( rand() % 33 ) * ( rand() % 33 ) * ( rand() % 33) * ( rand() * 33) * (rand() % 33 )) + 1
//****

But I have doubts about it's randomness quality.Also there is another problem,the program can't know the maximum random number it should use before user input,so maximum random number may need to use much smaller maximum random number according to user input.

Is there a better algorithm to create big random numbers in C?
