Java Program to Implement the linear congruential generator for Pseudo Random Number Generation

This is java program to generate a random numbers, using linear congruential generator. The formula for next random number in the sequence is x(n+1) = {a*x(n)+c}mod m, where x(n+1) is current number to generate, x(n) is previously generated, a is multiplier, c is additive term and m is modulus.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement the linear congruential generator for Pseudo Random Number Generation. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.

//This is a sample program to generate random numbers based on linear congruential generator
import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.util.Random;
 
public class Linear_Congruential_Random_Numbers 
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        BigInteger n = new BigInteger(16, new Random(){});
        Random rand = new Random();
        BigInteger m = new BigInteger("65535");//2^16
 
        for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
        {
            System.out.print(n+", ");
            BigInteger a = new BigInteger(16, new Random(){});
            BigInteger c = new BigInteger(16, new Random(){});
            n = ((a.multiply(a)).add(c)).mod(m);
        }
        System.out.println("... ");
    }
}
