c - Is it possible to peek at the next rand value -

assuming generator has been seeded, possible peek @ next random value without changing it?

i.e. given:

#include <stdlib.h>  int r; r = rand(); // 99 r = rand(); // 80

is possible

#include <stdlib.h>  int r; r = peekatrand(); // give 99 r = rand(); // still gives 99  r = peekatrand(); // give 80 r = rand(); // still gives 80

furthermore, can extended peeking @ next n numbers?

you can implement peekatrand follows:

int peekatrand() {     int r,s;     s = rand();     srand(s);     r = rand();     srand(s);     return r; }

to make "worthy", call srand((unsigned int)time(null)) @ beginning of program.
