rand() 函数生成错误范围内的数字

Question

我猜数字游戏有问题。 该程序由2部分组成。 在第一部分，用户尝试猜测计算机随机生成的数字。 在第 2 部分，计算机尝试估计用户输入的数字。 第 1 部分没有问题，但在第 2 部分，计算机在进行预测时会估计不提供范围的值。 所以，我在rand()函数中使用变量a和b创建了1到1000之间的数字，并定义为a = 1 b = 1000。计算机根据用户的回答不断缩小这个范围。

例如，用户输入了数字649，如果计算机估计为800，则相关部分正在工作，并且b的新值是800，而不是1000，因此更新上限。 如果计算机估计为 200，则相关部分再次工作，a 的新值是 200，当循环回绕时，产生的是 200 到 800 之间的数字，而不是 1 到 1000 之间的数字。 但问题是即使值更新后，计算机生成一个大于 800 的数字（例如，1246）。 这正是问题所在。

我必须在星期二交付这项作业，但我仍然无法找到解决此错误的方法。 我正在向您发送源代码，并详细写下了我使用的每个变量如何作为注释编号。 如果需要，我可以发送错误的视频描述。 请帮我。

为了帮助您更快地找到和测试问题，我禁用了一些带有注释行向用户提问的行。

Answer 1

在a + rand() % b; , rand() % b结果是从 0 到b -1（含）的数字。 然后加上a会产生一个从a到a + b -1 的数字，包括。 所以，如果a是 200， b是 800，它会产生一个从 200 到 200+800−1 = 999（含）的数。

要生成从a到b （含），请使用a + rand() % (b+1-a) 。 或者，要排除b ，请使用a + rand() % (ba) 。

注意：

(a) 随机使用%会使分布偏向低值。 这是因为rand产生的数字范围（0 到RAND_MAX ，包括）通常不能被b整除，所以有一些剩余片段，使用%将这个片段中的所有数字放在分布的低端。

(b) rand历史实现因低位的低熵而臭名昭著，因此，只要b是 2 的幂的倍数，例如 2 ⁿ ， n低位就不是很随机。

出于这些原因，以这种方式将%与rand一起使用不应在简单的课堂练习和其他随意使用之外进行。
