Message: [QUOTE="Kevin D. Quitt, post: 1707062"] Read all three volumes of Knuth. When you then get around to the FAQ, you will find it as short as is possible for it to be. Perhaps slightly too short in some areas. (The only nit I have to pick with the FAQ is its section on generating random numbers in the range of 1 to n. The explanation is reasonable, but not quite correct. Unfortunately, the "correct" explanation requires extensive analysis and "correct" sample code can require iteration. I'm working on a paper that shows the problem(s) and solution, but it's slow-going.) [/QUOTE]
