I am trying to predict the output of a program that uses msvcrt’s rand() function for generating the face of three dice. I believe the code is something like:
dice[0] = rand() % 6 + 1; dice[1] = rand() % 6 + 1; dice[2] = rand() % 6 + 1;, and I was wondering if I could use a prediction program for linear congruential generators to predict the next numbers in the sequence.
See for yourself:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\crt\src\rand.c(Or use
%VCINSTALLDIR%\crt\src\rand.cif you’re running from a VC command prompt.)(Assuming you have at least the standard version of VC. It’s two lines. I’d post it, but not sure whether the license allows it.)
