Fct_Random

Return a random floating point values between 0 and 0xFFFF FFFF

Syntax

unsigned int Fct_Random_Int(

void

) ;

Parameters

This function does not have a parameter.

Return value

This function return a random unsigned integer value.

Remarks

This random number generator is based on the algorithm presented in "Random Number Generators: Good ones are hard to find", Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller, Communications of the ACM, Vol 31, Num10, October 1988.
