Re: Generating 2 independent random numbers

For example, consider the
following code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
        srand(1);

        int i;

        for (i=0; i<9; i++)
                std::cout << rand() << "\t";
        std::cout << "\n";

        for (; i<RAND_MAX; i++)
                rand();

        for (i=0; i<9; i++)
                std::cout << rand() << "\t";
        std::cout << "\n";
        return 0;
}

According to your statements, the two lines should be
identical (with a possible offset).
