The C++ program was evidently deprecated because it did not go through the process of generating a random character for each character that it output. The author realized that the pseudo-random-number-generator had a cycle-length less than 200_000. Both the C++ program and the Clojure program use a much more efficient algorithm than the other programs. That may violate the rules. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
