hi people i am working on a project where i need to generate random nos, lots of them. now til now i've been using the random() functio in C, but the thing is that when i run the program and call random() for the 1st time it goives a no say x1, and i terminate the program... now when i run it again, the random() functio returns the same no that is x1. i want to generate a random no that is random in the true sense of the word(lolz i hope u get what i mean...)
*snip*
Just reading /dev/random as a file will give you a lot of insight ;). Hope it helps...
Regards,
