Generate random numbers uniformly over an entire range

Question

I need to generate random numbers within a specified interval, [max;min].

Also, the random numbers should be uniformly distributed over the interval, not located to

Answer 1

If you want numbers to be uniformly distributed over the range, you should break your range up into a number of equal sections that represent the number of points you need. Then get a random number with a min/max for each section.

As another note, you should probably not use rand() as it's not very good at actually generating random numbers. I don't know what platform you're running on, but there is probably a better function you can call like random().
