C++ :: Seed Unique Random Numbers?
Jan 13, 2014
Is there a way of using a rand-function in a way that it seeds the same random numbers every time the function is used? I'm looking fomr something like:
int * randfunction(hash maybe){
//Fancy code...
return // quasi random numbers, same each time function is used.
}
I'm testing an algorithm where I need a set of unique random numbers. So far I've only used hard coded numbers on small scale test runs. I'd like to do the up scaling, but haven't really figured out how to seed random numbers like I need to.

for (int i=0; i<15; i++)
{
nx[i]=rand()%8+1;
printf("%d",nx[i]);
}
I want to the function of timer "srand(time(NULL))" to generate seed for random numbers. By running this for loop,I think I should expect random numbers ranging from 1 to 8.However, I get some wried numbers from the console window like 88,044,077,066,088,088,066,022,044,044,088,022,033,66814990522,-156026525933,1606416712. One more thing,I think I am going to have 15 outputs, but why I get 16 instead every time.

We had to generate random, unique numbers in the range [1,15]. But running the program for several times showed a bug: It wouldn't always generate a new number for every repeated number. I can't figure out the problem, especially since it works half the time and I can't figure out what's making it work some times and not others.
bool flag1 = true, flag2 = true, flag3 = true;
int i, j = 1;
int[] A = new int[11];
Random rnd = new Random();
A[0] = rnd.Next(1, 15);
Console.WriteLine("1. = " + A[0]);
[Code] .....

Below is my code for a program that is suppose to generate and display six unique random numbers (between 1 and 54). The issue seems to be in my check for duplicates. I know what I am doing wrong but can't seem to find a way to fix it. I think it is getting stuck in an endless loop because the way I have written it looks like it checks the first value against itself which will of course look like a duplicate everytime.
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
using namespace std;
//function prototype

I have a dataset which is a coauthorship network (a .txt file).I want to replace all the names of the authors with a unique number(no matter what the number is but it's important these numbers should be unique).
I've opened the dataset in excel then copy the author's names to another excel file,then I want to replace the authors names with their row numbers. what should i do?

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish (it is a rather simple program): A classroom of students are to grade a certain number of other exams. The exams should be distributed equally and RANDOMLY, every student should receive the same number of exams, and no student should receive their own exam to grade. The only problem I have is to generate unique random exams for each student. Right now, I have it set to where each exam is distributed the same number of times, every student gets the same number of exams to grade, and no one gets there own. However, I don't have any parameters that prevent one student from getting the same exam multiple time.
Here is an example output:
Student 1 will grade: 4 3 2 5 <- CORRECT OUTPUT (no exam appears more than once)
Student 2 will grade: 5 5 5 1 <- exam 5 appears three times
Student 3 will grade: 4 2 2 2 <- exam 2 appears three times
Student 4 will grade: 3 3 1 1 <- exams 3 and 1 each appear twice
Student 5 will grade: 1 3 4 4 <- exam 4 appears twice
(each exam appears four times and every student is assigned four exams. no one gets their own)
Here is my code (area of problem is close to the bottom):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
void create_class (int);
int main (void) {
srand(time(NULL));
[Code] ....
I tried keeping the exams for each student in the array exam and then checking each one every time I generate a number, but that didn't work.

I want to make 10 random numbers thus making 10 random flips of a coin. I am getting 10 tails or 10 heads!

So I've actually used rand() happily without any problems so far, but now I faced a problem. I have an AI loop that initialized a random number between 1 and 2 at the beginning, so something like this:
while (condition) {
int random = rand()% 1 + 2;
if (random == 1) {
[Code] ....
So this doesn't really work since it doesn't actually assign a new random value. I came across srand(time(NULL)), which resets the seed, but I didn't quite get when to use it. Do I have to call it in every cycle of the loop? I'm not completely sure how this works.

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..

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);
[Code] .....

I have a program that generates random numbers. After the random number is generated, the program asks if you want to generate another random number. However, if you generate another random number, it is always the same as the first random number. How can I fix this?

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.

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?

I am designing a math program for kids. I want the program to produce 2 random numbers and check the sum of these numbers against the user's guess. I have the generating random numbers portion complete. What's the coding procedure to compare the sum to the user's guess?

Assuming you have an array of these values x=[16,18,23,24,39,40] how would you write a function to generate random numbers that can add up to a 100? I need to know how many random numbers can add up to a 100.

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;

The program is to generate random numbers to a file and will have one integer parameter, Open a file and then using a loop write the required number of random numbers to the file. Scale the random numbers from 1 and 100 inclusive. Then closes the file .The last function will read the numbers in the file into your program. so far i have
Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ctime>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>

I generate a series of random numbers in parallel (using OpenMP), but depending on what number of threads I invoke, I get a different result. From that I conclude that I have made an error somewhere!
Here is the MWE, which generates a number between 0..1 and increments a variable if the generated variable is larger than 0.5:
Code:
#include <random>
typedef std::uniform_real_distribution<double> distr_uni;
#define max_threads 1
using namespace std;
[Code] ....
When I set max_threads=1 I get 50027, but when max_threads=60 (on a machine that supports it....) I get 50440.
The sensitive RNG and its engine I have declared within the parallelized area, so it's not really clear to me where the error can possibly be.
Looking for error that is apparently there?

#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
int a, b, c, d, e, f;
