Values produced by IBM Visualage PL/I compiler |
|||
built-in random number generator are uniformly distributed |
|||
between 0 and 1 [0 <= random < 1] |
|||
It uses a multiplicative congruential method: |
|||
seed(x) = mod(950706376 * seed(x-1), 2147483647) |
|||
random(x) = seed(x) / 2147483647 |
