Thread: rand()

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!

man lrand48
