I want to use 128 Bit pseudo random function generator in my acadmic project. But i did not found. Can any one please tell where i can get it in c++ or c language.

Thanks in advance

You want a function generator or a function that will generate a 128bit random number?

You may be out of luck for a function generator. As for the random number, this has a lot of relevant information.

If you use the Boost.Random library, there are plenty of different random number generators with all sorts of cycle lengths (including 2300000 bits).

The new C++ standard (C++11) also includes a random library with a lot of the generators from the Boost.Random library, but you need a fairly recent compiler to have that available. You can also use the underlying random number engines to create custom generators, the methods available are linear-congruential, mersenne-twister, subtract-with-carry, discard-block, independent-bits, and shuffle-order engines. There are plenty of options.

Thank you for your valuable comment or suggestion.
I found /usr/include/boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp library. Can you please one example using rand48 class in this library.

Yeah sure, here's an example:

#include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

#include <boost/random/uniform_01.hpp>
#include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp>

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

int main() {
  boost::random::rand48 rng = boost::random::rand48((unsigned int)time(NULL));

  std::cout << " This is a random number: " << rng() << std::endl;

  boost::random::uniform_01<double> udist;

  std::cout << " This is a uniformly distributed 'double' value in range [0,1]: " << udist(rng) << std::endl;

  boost::random::normal_distribution<double> ndist(0.5, 0.25);

  std::cout << " This is a normally distributed 'double' value with mean 0.5 and std-dev 0.25: " << ndist(rng) << std::endl;

  return 0; 
};

Yeah sure, here's an example:

#include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

#include <boost/random/uniform_01.hpp>
#include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp>

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

int main() {
  boost::random::rand48 rng = boost::random::rand48((unsigned int)time(NULL));

  std::cout << " This is a random number: " << rng() << std::endl;

  boost::random::uniform_01<double> udist;

  std::cout << " This is a uniformly distributed 'double' value in range [0,1]: " << udist(rng) << std::endl;

  boost::random::normal_distribution<double> ndist(0.5, 0.25);

  std::cout << " This is a normally distributed 'double' value with mean 0.5 and std-dev 0.25: " << ndist(rng) << std::endl;

  return 0; 
};

Thankyou mike

but when i am running this it gives

I correct this. Thanks once again
code is

#include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

#include <boost/random/uniform_01.hpp>
#include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp>

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

int main() {
            rand48 rng = rand48((unsigned int)time(NULL));

  std::cout << " This is a random number: " << rng() << std::endl;


  uniform_01<double> udist;

  std::cout << " This is a uniformly distributed 'double' value in range [0,1]: " << udist(rng) << std::endl;

  normal_distribution<double> ndist(0.5, 0.25);

 std::cout << " This is a normally distributed 'double' value with mean 0.5 and std-dev 0.25: " << ndist(rng) << std::endl;

  return 0;
