Any idea how to create the same random numbers in C/C++ and Java? With seed, we can create random number in C++ and Java. But the created number looks different value.

<in C++>
srand(32323);
printf("rand : %d\n", rand());


<in Java>
Random rnd = new Random();
rnd.setSeed(32323);
nextInt() 

or 

Random rnd = new Random(32323);
byte []buf = new byte[12];
rnd.nextBytes(buf);

I want to get same random number against two languages when the same seed is used.

    In general, the best way to "sync" PRNGs between two programs in different languages is to implement the same PRNG in both languages. In any case, the `rand` function should not be used in C++, notably because `rand`'s algorithm is unspecified in both C and C++.
