We want to avoid using a modulus because * that simply tosses the high-order bits and might skew the distribution * of random values over the range. Instead we map the range directly. * * We need to map the range from 0...M evenly to the range a...b * Let n = the random number and n' = the mapped random number * * Then we have: n' = a + n(b-a)/M * * We have a problem here in that only n==M will get mapped to b which # means the chances of getting b is much much less than getting any of # the other values in the range. We can fix this by increasing our range # artificially and using: # # n' = a + n(b-a+1)/M * # Now we only have a problem if n==M which would cause us to produce a # number of b+1 which would be bad. So we bump M up by one to make sure # this will never happen, and the final algorithm looks like this: # # n' = a + n(b-a+1)/(M+1) * * -RL */ #define RAND_RANGE_BADSCALING(__n, __min, __max, __tmax) \ (__n) = (__min) + (zend_long) ((double) ( (double) (__max) - (__min) + 1.0) * ((__n) / ((__tmax) + 1.0))) #ifdef PHP_WIN32 #define GENERATE_SEED() (((zend_long) (time(0) * GetCurrentProcessId())) ^ ((zend_long) (1000000.0 * php_combined_lcg()))) #else #define GENERATE_SEED() (((zend_long) (time(0) * getpid())) ^ ((zend_long) (1000000.0 * php_combined_lcg()))) #endif PHPAPI void php_srand(zend_long seed); PHPAPI zend_long php_rand(void); #endif /* PHP_RAND_H */
