Re: [ILUG-BOM] random no generation issues

[Rahul Arvind Jadhav]

a yet another solution(for different granularity of generation time) 
wherein a unique random number can be generated more than once within a 
second......

struct timeval tv;
gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
srandom((tv.tv_sec<<16)|(tv.tv_usec>>16));
uniquenum = random();
