SYNOPSIS

subroutine system_srand()

DESCRIPTION

system_srand(3f) calls the C routine srand(3c) The srand(3c)/system_srand(3f) function uses its argument as the seed for a new sequence of pseudo-random integers to be returned by system_rand(3f)/rand(3c). These sequences are repeatable by calling system_srand(3f) with the same seed value. If no seed value is provided, the system_rand(3f) function is automatically seeded with a value of 1.

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

      program demo_system_srand
      use M_system, only : system_srand, system_rand
      implicit none
      integer :: i,j
      do j=1,2
         call system_srand(1001)
         do i=1,10
            write(*,*)system_rand()
         enddo
         write(*,*)
      enddo
      end program demo_system_srand
