Re: Probability problem.

What is the expected value of the variable c in the following snippet of code?

c=0
a=0
while (a!=0xffffffff)   # loop until all 32 bits in 'a' are 1
    i=random(0,0xffffffff+1)      # get a random number between 0 and 2^32-1
    a=a | i             # set the bit values
    c=c+1               # increment c
