rand() gives the same values in each run

Hi
I'm working on the evaluation of metaheuristic algorithms and i need to test each technique in many runs, however the rand() function always generates the same random values in each run, which is not good for the evaluation.
For example, if rand()=0.56 in the 1st run at the 2nd iteration, then rand()=0.56 for all the other runs at the second iteration.

Are you initializing the random number generator with rng too frequently or in the wrong place in your code flow?

Show a full (small) segment of code that we can run that demonstrates the behavior you described.
