$urandom_range assigned to 2 variable of same type

[mssajwan]

Hello Friends,
A little doubt, need some clarification.
Within a module I have 2 variables and I assign a range to them
........
.......
int a;
int b;
a = $urandom_range(1,0);
b = $urandom_range(1,0);

....
.............

Now the question is for a particular seed will a & b always have the
same values?
(My assumption is yes,they will always be having same value for
specific seed)

Need your thoughts on it.
Thanks
Manmohan

No, I don't think they will have the same value... they may have change to get same value but not necessarily

try to put the above code in a loop and see

Thanks Essam,

Yes you are right. They will have randomized values.
I tried it yesterday itself.
thanks

Hi Manmohan,

 

a and b will have different values. As b gets the next random number. But if u put a loop and store all the values of a or b in a file u will find u r getting  same values in all the runs. For example, if in the first run values of a are: 10001100 and b are: 1110011. In the second run also u'll get values of a as: 10001100 and those of b are: 1110011. If u delete the line

b = $urandom_range(1,0); u'll get 11011 etc. The values of a and b are combined provided u dont change the seed value.

 

Best Regards

No they both can't have the same value at  all the seeds.
