ok guys, i need to generate 10,000 random numbers less then 20, i want my program to take the seconds from the clock, divide it by 3, and then put it through a formula to then create 10,000 psuedo-random numbers, under 20, any help guys. thanks.
im not suppose to use those algorithms, its just basicly, i take the seconds, and divide it by 3, and put it through a formula 10,000 times, and it should be kind of random, like it doesnt have to be completly random, its just a test on how random we can make a program without using those random elements. comprende? any suggestions on the formula would help.
nanoTime() when bounded by limit of 20 itself gives pretty different results. You can mess it up stretching it up with arithmetic operation of your choice. nada . I am not talking about taking the algorithm .. you need to write yours .. But you will get basic idea from existing random number generator algorithm ..

for (int index = 0; index < max; index ++) //determines frequency

frequency[index]++;

{
