It looks like the people saying double is a good idea didn't actually look at the code. The double argument is compared to a size_t cast to double, and assigned that same value under some conditions. I think the problem is that the double argument is part of the RAND API, so they cannot easily change it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
