I have the following c code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
srand(time(NULL));
printf("%d\n", (int)random());
return 0;
}
To my understanding, this should print a different random number every time I execute the program because the random seed is dependent of the system time.
But every time run the program, I get exactly the same output:
1804289383
I still get the same output when I put custom values as argument for srand:
srand(1);
Or
srand(12345);
Does anyone have an Idea why this happens? Maybe it is because of my operating system (Mac OS 10.10.3)? Or the compiler I use (gcc)?
Are there simple alternatives?
