You are provided with a bit generator which generates 1 and 0 with equal probabilities i.e. (1/2). You are required to design a function which generates numbers form 1-1000 with equal probabilities i.e. (1/1000). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

If rand() generates equi-probable numbers within range [1 - n] and n is a multiple of 1000 then your above code will be correct. You should utilize the bit-generator function. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group. To post to this

I don't think so that probability would be exact 1/1000 . suppose number is ( a9 a8 a7 a6 a5 a4 a3 a2 a1 a0) where a0 is least and a9 is most significant bit then you can generate each of the bit ai using given bit generator but if but at a time (a9 , a8 , a7 , a6 , a5 , a3 ) and any other bit

nos [1001,1023] are neglected as if their probabilities are set to zero and recalculated.As nos [1,1000] are only considered and as they are generated with equal probabilities i.e. 1/1024. I feel the above solution to be correct. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

but suppose you have to generate numbers between [1,513] then also it would generate numbers them each with probability 1/1024 which could make a big difference and I feel the above solution to be incorrect . May be we could think of a better one . -- You received this message because you are
