Hi,

I want to generate a random number between a range of value say from (-10 to 10).
The generated random number should be same for any number of attempts in this range.

If -10 to 10 give 4.526325631
then if i give -10 to 10 for 100 times then the number generated should be 4.526325631.

How can i acheive it?

Don't use random numbers.

What part of the phrase "Random number" is confusing you?
When you generate a random number between an upper an a lower limit you have no idea what the number will be - that is the whole idea of "random" Over time and sufficient numbers it will trend to the mean of the upper and lower bounds, but you cannot skew it towards any particular value - or it looses all semblance of randomness.
