how is the distribution of two consecutive numbers?
(all consecutive numbers should be nearly equally distributed, otherwise there must be clusters or local minima or maxima or hyperplane behaviors).
This is the test code:
Code: Select all
// Test on statistical equal distributionof (n, n+1)
// of Lego and customized randomization functions
// ver. 1.1
#define printf1( _x, _y, _format1, _value1) { \
string sval1 = FormatNum(_format1, _value1); \
TextOut(_x, _y, sval1); \
}
char LCDline[]={56,48,40,32,24,16,8,0};
