Large random numbers

New comment
 

How could one generate large random numbers, ranging between 0 and X where X can be up to 1.500.000?

The standard random numbers generators I found are going up to 32767, not higher. And I need higher.

For a simple way to generate pseudo-random numbers you can use this : 

int m_w = 521288629;
int m_z = 362436069;

void   SetSeed(int z=0, int w=0) { if (z != 0) m_z = z; if (w != 0) m_w = w; }
double GetRand()
{
    m_z = 36969 * (m_z & 65535) + (m_z >> 16);
    m_w = 18000 * (m_w & 65535) + (m_w >> 16);
         return ((m_z << 16) + m_w + 1.0);
}

Make sure to call the SetSeed() from somewhere (from init is good) - something like this :

   SetSeed(TimeLocal(),TimeLocal()*TimeCurrent());

Multiply it by 45,777764213995788445692312387463.

That will still generate just 32767 pseudo-random numbers - not 1.500.000
