  Now I don't understand.
  You want a macro so that you give it two values and it returns a random
value corresponding to those input values. That is, if you call MyRand(2,5)
it would return something seemingly not related to 2 and 5, like 0.27642.
Is this correct?
  What I don't understand is how it can return several values. Do you mean
that if you call it again with MyRand(2,5) it should return a different
value? What's the difference with regular rand() then?

: Not only should the random number have no visible connection to VAL. It
: should also have no visible connection to the other random numbers.

  What other random numbers?
