The first numbers in each of your three runs are 7.98493051529 , 7.98525762558 and 7.98623776436. They look like different numbers to me.=20 First, thanks for your answer Time.=20 I do agree, they are different. But I wouldn't call it random. I = didn't expect that the small difference in the initial seed would affect the first = number with so little. Usually the seed numbers I have experienced other places have much more dramatic effect on the numbers, if you see what I mean... If you want the difference between initial values to be greater, you need to make the=20 difference in your seeds greater. For example, if I run your code now, I get 8.29225027561, 8.29484963417 and 8.29744851589, but setting the seed to (1,2) gives an initial value of 5.69397783279. Remember, these are only pseudorandom numbers.=20 Yes, they are pseudorandom and that is OK. What I just want is some = more initial difference between the runs without setting the seed number = manually. But know I know this is not a flaw in the RNG, but "its the way it is = supposed to be" Thanks -- Johan Fredrik Ohman |
