How to use the rand_hard () function?
Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2021 5:22 pm
When the function is called what is the range of possible return values? Is it possible to change the range of values?
This is something related to the original interface of the Kilobot. The ARGoS model mimicks what the Kilobot originally offers.
The function rand_hard() is implemented with a Mersenne-Twister random number generator that returns a 32 random bits.
It is not possible to change the range, but you can scale the values and add/subtract numbers to achieve the range you need. Refer to the rand() Linux function for possible examples, as its logic is similar to rand_hard().
