There is a pair of functions in stdlib.h (make sure to include it) that are used for generating pseudo-random numbers. These are "srand" and "rand". Examples are on pages 686 and 687. E.g., function "srand(3)" provides the seed value of 3 to the srand function. (3 is just a number, and probably isn't even a good number for this purpose, but that's a discussion for another time). The reason that we use a seed value is so that we can reproduce the series of random numbers. Thus, we call them pseudo-random numbers. Being able to reproduce them is important to verify and debug code.

Write a C program to generate a set of random numbers for a given seed value (call it lab8_part1.c). Prompt the user for the seed value, or 0 to quit. Then print 5 random values. When you run your program, try a few different seed values, then try one that you've already tried. Verify that you get the same sequence.

CODE -

#include<stdio.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

int main()

{

int seed;

// Taking seed value as input from the user

printf("\nEnter a seed value (0 to quit): ");

scanf("%d", &seed);

// Running the loop until user enters 0 to quit

while(seed != 0)

{

// Passing seed value to the function srand()

srand(seed);

// Printing 5 random values

for(int i=0; i<5; i++)

printf("%d ", rand());

// Taking next seed value as input from the user

printf("\nEnter a seed value (0 to quit): ");

scanf("%d", &seed);

}

return 0;

}

Use C language , pointer limit use //#include <stdio.h> //#include <stdlib.h> //#include <time.h> For example, I have random array [4,2,7,1,9,8,0]. Sort the array's index but cannot change the position of item in the array, if you copy the array to a new array, you also cannot change the item's position in array. The index now is[0,1,2,3,4,5,6] The output should be[6,3,1,0,2,5,4]
