Hi!
I have a C program which uses the standard library random no. generator
rand() and srand() for initialisation. The program gives consistent answer
when compiled using "gcc" on Sun Solaris or SGI Irix 6.4 .
When i run the code on Windows NT 4 using Cygnus gcc compiler , a different
set of random numbers are generated giving entirely different answer.
Here is the code:
#include <stdlib.h>
main(){
srand(1);
printf("%i",rand());
}
When compiled on Sun Solaris or SGI Irix 6.4 using gcc compier i get 16838.
When compiled on Windows NT 4 using Cygnus gcc compiler i get 1103527590.
Is there a way i can get the same random numbers on Windows NT 4 and
Sun/SGI ?
thanks,
Saurabh
