Rabbit population simulation

C language

     Random number in IT is a sensible subject as it is almost impossible to truly generate a random number, that is why they are called pseudo random number. In one of my class, we studied them and our professor introduced us to a pseudo random number generator famous for its precision : Mersenne Twister. 

      The project was to simulate a rabbit population using the pseudo random number generator, given data on different parameters such as birth probability, death probability, male or female rate etc... And to write a report on our results. We were free to use any programming language we wanted, with my partner we decided to use C language as we were very familiar with it and the Mersenne Twister the professor provided us was already in C language. We used structures to store a rabbit entity and that is the way we choose to manipulate them. The reproduction speed of the rabbit was exponential thus pushing the limits of our computers after simulating several years until they crashed. We had to do several simulations on different time period, note the data and analyze them. 

     I really like this project because it was very different from the other project we had so far, using programming for a scientific use instead of a virtual use. It also the first time we had to make a proper report in form and substance and really helped us on how to make one for future project.
