==Remove draft status?==
The entries so far are as I had hoped. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
:A number of entries mention they invoke the rand() function from the C standard library. The wikipedia page for the linear congruential generator (whatever) mentions that the rand() in the library of many popular C implementations is of this type. There's also a link to a page that gives the spec. for the library's rand function. The spec is pretty loose. It doesn't specify the algorithm to be used by the PRNG. Only the interface, and some other properties. It does state that RAND_MAX must be 32767 or larger.
:My question is - should there be a C entry that describes the situation with the rand() function of its standard library or not?
