#89578 - the dangers of thinking random is random Responding to: ???'s previous message |
There is no such thing as a random number in a uC without some form of external stimuli. Thinking that things such as the Keil rand() are random can lead you very far astray.
http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=78680 In mosr cases (such as Keil) using the name "random" without "pseudo" is misleading, misinformed and absolutely wrong. Erik |
