pesodu random number generator

Dupl3xxx

I have made a pesodu random number generator.
It outputs numbers between 0 and 1000.
Now I could use some help. Is there an easy way to get statistics of how often each number apperes? Currently, it outputs all the number into a textfile in tha same dir as the exe is placed.
Also, can some of you comfirm that it doesn't start reapiting itself after 100 000 numbers?

It seems biased towards three. I suppose it depends on your definition of random. I'm guessing you'd want it to be an even distribution?

See the image I attached for the distribution of numbers. If you want to know how I did it, this is what I did in OpenOffice to get the number frequency.

Thank you for the tip and graph! Looks like it is quite even, but as you mention, it likes 3. Have been a thing since the begining...

Again, thank you!

EDIT:
After some testing and tweaking, I fond that I can make my app generat random numbers withinn a 0.7% margin form perfect distribution. That is, as long as I set the highest number it shuld output to a primenumber minus one.

With other words: It can generate evenly distributed numbers if the highest number is to output is 4 (5-1), 6 (7-1), 10 (11-1), 12 (13-1) and so on. Any tips as to what I can do with that?
