    pseudo-random number generator problem

    Hi guys im trying to make my own pseudo-random number generator from the algorithm below using the kent chaotic map.

    Code:
           
                 { x(n)/m,  0 < x(n) <=m
    x(n+1)= {
                 {(1-x(n))/1-m,  m<x(n) <1
    where 0<m<1 (m could be 0.7 for example and all other variables could be anything)

    I've tried playing around with loops for example but cant get it working:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    int main (int argc, char * const argv[])
    {
       	double m = 0.7;
    	double x[10];
    	double k = 10;
    	int n, Chaotic_map;
    {	
    	for (n=0;n<k;n++)
    		x[n]+1=x[n]/m;
    	
    	for (m<x[n]<1)
    		Chaotic_map= x[n]+1=(1-x[n])/(1-m);
    	printf("%d", Chaotic_map);
    	 
        return 0;
    }
    But im still lost, Any ideas??

    Some URL's to where these things are described would be useful.

    Don't assume that we
    - know what a "kent chaotic map" is
    - can be bothered to do a lot of legwork (*n cross-posts) to find out
    - can possibly work it out from the non-compilable code you posted.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    If you remember that the right side of a piecewise-defined function should have the word "if" in it, then you're golden:
    Code:
    if x[n] <= m then
        x[n+1] := x[n]/m
    else
        x[n+1] := (1-x[n])/(1-m)
