/*This is a C++ Program to generate random numbers using Linear Congruential Generator. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation. The method represents one of the oldest and best-known pseudorandom number generator algorithms. The theory behind them is relatively easy to understand, and they are easily implemented and fast, especially on computer hardware which can provide modulo arithmetic by storage-bit truncation.*/ #include using namespace std; class mRND { public: void seed(unsigned int s) { _seed = s; } protected: mRND() : _seed(0), _a(0), _c(0), _m(2147483648) { } int rnd() { return (_seed = (_a * _seed + _c) % _m); } int _a, _c; unsigned int _m, _seed; }; class MS_RND: public mRND { public: MS_RND() { _a = 214013; _c = 2531011; } int rnd() { return mRND::rnd() >> 16; } }; class BSD_RND: public mRND { public: BSD_RND() { _a = 1103515245; _c = 12345; } int rnd() { return mRND::rnd(); } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { BSD_RND bsd_rnd; MS_RND ms_rnd; cout << "MS RAND:" << endl << "========" << endl; for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) cout << ms_rnd.rnd() << endl; cout << endl << "BSD RAND:" << endl << "=========" << endl; for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) cout << bsd_rnd.rnd() << endl; return 0; } /* MS RAND: ======== 38 7719 21238 2437 8855 11797 8365 32285 10450 30612 BSD RAND: ========= 12345 1406932606 654583775 1449466924 229283573 1109335178 1051550459 1293799192 794471793 551188310
