Does anybody know how to generate a random floating point number. I am using
top speed c, for the work and the rand() function ad defined in the ansi
standard only goes up to 32767. I suppose I could multiply it, but I'm looking
for a more elegant solution to give me the full range of +ve and -ve values.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Daniel
