simulation - Equally distributed probability in C -


this question has answer here:

i have program runs on 1000000 iterations simulate server load. arrival rate of requests variable. example if arrival rate 2: means @ every 2 iterations, there should 1 request incoming generate "around" 500,000 requests @ end of simulation , on. can not introducing new request @ each nth interval depending on arrival rate. there must factor of luck involved.

#include<stdio.h> #include<time.h> #include <stdlib.h>  //random number generator method int random_number(int min_num, int max_num){   int result=0,low_num=0,hi_num=0;    if(min_num<max_num){     low_num=min_num;     hi_num=max_num+1; // done include max_num in output.   }else{     low_num=max_num+1;// done include max_num in output.     hi_num=min_num;   }   result = (rand()%(hi_num-low_num))+low_num;   return result; }  int main(){   srand(time(null));   unsigned int arrivalrate = 2;   unsigned int noofrequests = 0;   unsigned int timer;   for(timer = 0; timer < 1000000; timer++){     //gives random number between 0 , arrival rate     int x = random_number(0, arrivalrate);     //there new request     if(x <= 1){       noofrequests++;     }       }   printf("no of requests: %d", noofrequests); }

so, if run code arrivalrate 2, generates around 600,000 requests should around 500,000 (+-1000 tolerable) requests. how can improve code generate more reasonable results, producing way expected.

the result of random function uniformly distributed between 0 , 2. means output either 0, 1, or 2 33% probability each. testing <= 1, means have 67% probability of accepting request, around 666k per million.

to solve problem, need exclude lower bound interval, change computation of result to:

result = (rand()%(hi_num-low_num+1))+low_num;

or might want exclude upper bound instead, depending on need. statement "this means @ every 2 iterations, there should 1 request incoming" not consistent randomly picking 2 numbers out of set of 3.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...

keyboard - Smiles and long press feature in Android -

i've created android keyboard. how add features inserting smilies, , using long keypresses display symbols? to create long-press behavior allows select several options pop-up menu, follow guide (specifically pop-up menu section): http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html smileys (also known emoticons) combination of keys, understood programs , parsed same way. have do, when clicks smiley face on keyboard, simulate pressing of key combination matching emoticon. example, when clicks smiley, should simulate key presses ':' , ')' :). here's list of emoticons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_emoticons
