I still don't understand how it's a pseudo-random number generator. you're still outputting `integer`, you're just using %u instead of %2f - instead of a floating point number, it's an unsigned integer, right? (I haven't used C/printf in awhile.)

And the measure of entropy means nothing. If I know that the last number that was output was 10, I know the following number will be 15.
