Pseudorandom generator in Assembly Language

Question

I need a pseudorandom number generator algorithm for a assembler program assigned in a course, and I would prefer a simple algorithm. However, I cannot use an external libra

Answer 1

Linear congruential (X = AX+C mod M) PRNG's might be a good one to assign for an assembler course as your students will have to deal with carry bits for intermediate AX results over 2^31 and computing a modulus. If you are the student they are fairly straightforward to implement in assembler and may be what the lecturer had in mind.
