random

hey /prog/.

is there a random number generator algorithm/library that supports something like this: use this seed, give me next nth random number? obviously it shouldn't iterate n times. I don't care if it is not that random.

there is probably something very simple for this but I can't get my head around it.

would this work?


unsigned int random(unsigned int n) {
  return n*__REALLY_BIG_NUMBER_THAT_IS_RELATIVELY_PRIME_TO_MAX_INT__;
}
