I'm trying to implement a class that will serve as sort of a wrapper for so I can use its objects and functions in (I think) a more intuitive way elsewhere in my code.
In my header I have something like this:
class RandomDevice{
private:
unsigned long rand_seed;
default_random_engine engine;
public:
RandomDevice(unsigned long n);
int randInt(int min, int max);};
And then in the .cpp file implements those two functions (constructor and randInt) like so:
RandomDevice::RandomDevice(unsigned long n){
rand_seed = n;
default_random_engine engine;
engine.seed(n);
}
int RandomDevice::randInt(int min, int max){
uniform_int_distribution<int> distribution(min, max);
return distribution(engine);
}
Finally, in my main.cpp I test these functions like this:
int main(){
unsigned long seed = 1;
RandomDevice my_rand(seed);
cout << "random integer: " << my_rand.randInt(0, 10) << endl;
}
The problem is, no matter what I set the seed to in main.cpp, I always get the same values for my random numbers (not just randInt, I have other distributions as well). I've also tried setting seed to time(NULL) but the same problem occurs.
I'm really scratching my head at this one. Thanks!
