Thread: lrand and srand

Are there any good tutorials on usig lrand48() and srand48() or any one that could explain it? I just wrote a quick program tat gave the value of RAND_MAX.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main(void)
{
     printf("RAND_MAX = %d\n, RAND_MAX);
}

Now I have to use lrand48() and srand48() and I am lost again. Sorry I am extremely new to linux and C. Thanks!

Type man lrand48 at your computer.

ive never used or even heard of either of them, but after a very quick search showing the functions' description, return type, arguments, i imagine its just as easy to use if you already know how to use "srand" and "rand". if you dont know how to use the latter two functions, find an example of that (of which there are many), then modify it to use your functions.
