note 77716 added to function.rand

A small comment on phpdev-dunnbypauls conclusion that rand() only generates numbers that are a multiply of 3. <?php $n = rand(0,100000); // with MAX_RAND=32768 ?> Since, 100000/32768=3.05 you get multiples of 3. The random integer will be multiplied by 3.05 to fit between 0 and 100000. rand() works fine, if you don't ask for bigger numbers then RAND_MAX. ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.107 Probable Submitter: 80.60.66.30 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77716 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77716 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77716 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
