#89649 - better pseudo! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Graham Cole said:
If you have an old version of Keil be aware that the pseudo-random number generator in rand() is very poor. It has since been fixed and now uses a 32-bit LFSR. Erik Malund said:
This may give the impression that the problem I refer to above is not there any more -- not so. I think Graham's saying that it used to be a very poor pseudo-random number generator, but now it is a better pseudo-random number generator. But, as you say, it is still "only" a pseudo-random generator. |
