The lcong48 function generates pseudorandom numbers using the linear congruential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic. You can use lcong48 to initialize the random number generator before you call any of the following functions: drand48 lrand48 mrand48 The lcong48 function specifies the initial Xi value, the multiplier value a, and the addend value c. The param array elements specify the following: param[0- Xi 2] param[3- Multiplier a value 5] param[6] 16-bit addend c value After lcong48 has been called, a subsequent call to either srand48 or seed48 restores the standard a and c as specified previously. The lcong48 function does not return a value. See also drand48, lrand48, mrand48, srand48, and seed48.
