Blum Blum Shub
-
I have to create a random number generator Blum Blum Shub in C or C++ ,using libraries stlib.h and time.h
Then do it!
-
And time.h how to use in it?
-
No idea, because we do not have the instructions that your teacher gave you. If you read the documentation for the random and time functions (time, _time32, _time64 | Microsoft Docs[^]) you should be able to decide how they can help you.
Here's the full indications that i have : Purpose: to develop a function that generates random numbers from a given range. Elaboration of the module for generating random numbers Resources : C or C++ compiler stdlib.h and time.h libraries Algorithm Blum Blum Shub Hope it helps in any kind

Hi everyone . I am a newbie in programming , so i would be very grateful if you could help me . I have to implement the Blum Blum Shub in C or C++ using the stdlib.h and time.h libraries . Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks :)
You are not asking a specific question. You are essentially asking someone to do all the work for you, which will not happen. Get started on it and if you get stuck on something specific then come back and show where you are stuck and someone will be glad to help.

More importantly, can you do it with pencil and paper? If the answer is no, then: 1) you are going to be hard pressed to implement it in code, and 2) you should work on it until you can produce results on paper. Don't let computer code take the place of the basic understanding of algorithms.

Okay , this is the code that i managed to do :
#include
#include
#include
/*BLUM BLUM SHUB*/int main()
{const int p = 30000000091;
const int q = 40000000003;
int N ;
scanf("%i", &N);
const unsigned long long int s = 1200000003730000000273;
unsigned int i,M,x[N];
time_t t;
srand((unsigned) time(&t));M=p*q;
i=0;
x[0]=s;
for(i=1;i<=N;i++){
x[i]=(x[i-1]*x[i-1])%M;
}
for(i=1;i<=N;i++){
printf(" x[%d] = %d\n",i,x[i]);
}system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}I have some issues with it , first it's that i need to add from console the biggest number D and i dont know how to put it in as now it's generating numbers without upper limit . Also can anyone tell me how to fix the code as it generates the same numbers at some intervals , if you have other remarks on how to make it better tell me please . Thanks:)

I found at least one issue with the code: You're using the variable
Nbefore you initialize it with a value. This is a no no.The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Change your
main()signature to:void main( int argc, char *argv[] )
Then access
argv[1]to getDas a command line argument. Also, your twofor()loops are accessing beyond the end of thexarray. In C, arrays start at0."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

I've replaced main() with
void main( int argc, char *argv[] )
, but how can i acces argv[1] to get D as a command line argument?

The same way you would access parameters from within any other function.
main()is no different. See here for more.Member 14956475 wrote:
...is it possible to use srand command?
Your code is already doing that. However, the way in which you are using it is meaningless since you are also not calling
rand().rand()by itself will always generate the same sequence of numbers.srand()will "seed" the number generation process to start at a different spot."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

Only you can determine that.

Hi everyone . I am a newbie in programming , so i would be very grateful if you could help me . I have to implement the Blum Blum Shub in C or C++ using the stdlib.h and time.h libraries . Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks :)
Okay , so this is the final code that i have at the moment #include #include #include /*BLUM BLUM SHUB*/ int main () { const int p = 347; const int q = 351; const unsigned long long int s = 12373273; int N ; printf("Introdu numarul de cifre aleatorii:"); scanf("%i", &N); unsigned int i,M,x[N]; srand(time(NULL)); M=p*q; i=0; x[0]=s; FILE *fp; //txt code fp = fopen("file.txt", "w"); //txt code for(i=1;i<=N;i++){ x[i]=rand()*(x[i-1]*x[i-1])%M; } for(i=1;i<=N;i++){ printf("%d\t",x[i]); fprintf(fp, "%d ",x[i]); //txt code } system("PAUSE"); fclose(fp);//txt code return 0; } It's working but i have one issue that i can't still solve , i need to put a maximal limit of the generated numbers at input , can anyone give me a clue how i can set x[i] a limit? I only found how to put a limit at rand but when it multiplies with function of BBS it exceeds the limit
