Random Numbers in Linux

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "head.h"

 

#define RANG 3600.0

 

int main()
{
        int x, i, count;
        long long sum1=0, sum2=0;
        int E, D;
        srand((unsigned)time(NULL));   // 生成seed
        E = (RANG-0)/2;
        D = (RANG-0)*(RANG-0)/12;
        printf("The Expectation is %d/n", E);
        printf("The Variation is   %d/n", D);

 

        count = 1000*10000;
        for(i=0; i<=count; i++)
        {
                //printf("%d/n",  (int) (3600.0 * (rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0))) ) ;
                x = (int) (3600.0 * (rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0))); // 生成随机数
                sum1 += x;
                sum2 += (x-E)*(x-E);
        }

 

        printf("Sampling Expectation is %d/n", sum1/count);
        printf("Sampling Variation is   %d/n", sum2/count);

The test result is :

Seems this rand() function behaves like a uniform distribution.
