Linear Congruent Random Number Generator Model
written by Wolfgang Christian
The Linear Congruent Number Generator Model generates a sequence of integers x[i] over the interval [0, m-1] by the recurrence relation

x[i+1] = (a*x[i]+c) mod m

where the modulus m is greater than zero, the multiplier a is greater than zero and less than m, and the increment c is greater than zero and less than m. All numbers are integers and all arithmetic is integer arithmetic. The initial value x[0] is known as the seed. 

The Linear Congruent Number Generator Model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the ejs_math_RandomLCG.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.
