Python code

Question

Can anyone help me in providing python code for random number generator without using random function

Answer 1

from time import time

N = 2**32
M = 1664525
C = 1013904223

def rand(a, b):
'''
Linear congruential random generator
'''
random = hash(time())
while True:
random = a + ((M*random + C) % N) % (b-a)
yield random

def test_rand(numtests, a, b):
print('{0} random numbers in range({1}, {2}):'.format(numtests, a, b))
for i in range(numtests):
print(next(rand(a, b)))

if __name__ == '__main__':
test_rand(10, 0, 100)

Algo from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

Answer 2

What numbers does it have to generate (integers, floats in range(a,b) etc.)?
And why not using random module? Is it your home task? Or because of security issues and the generator has to use smth else instead of time for producing random numbers?

Answer 3

yes its my assignment
i have to generate integers
please provide code and algo
