Given four integers N, R, X, and Y such that it represents a circle of radius R with [X, Y] as coordinates of the center. The task is to find N random points inside or on the circle. 
Examples:

Input: R = 12, X = 3, Y = 3, N = 5 
Output: (7.05, -3.36) (5.21, -7.49) (7.53, 0.19) (-2.37, 12.05) (1.45, 11.80)
Input: R = 5, X = 1, Y = 1, N = 3 
Output: (4.75, 1.03) (2.57, 5.21) (-1.98, -0.76)

Approach: To find a random point in or on a circle we need two components, an angle(theta) and distance(D) from the center. After that Now, the point (xi, yi) can be expressed as:

xi = X + D * cos(theta)
yi = Y + D * sin(theta)

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define PI 3.141592653589
 
// Return a random double between 0 & 1
double uniform()
{
    return (double)rand() / RAND_MAX;
}
 
// Function to find the N random points on
// the given circle
vector<pair<double, double> > randPoint(
    int r, int x, int y, int n)
{
    // Result vector
    vector<pair<double, double> > res;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Get Angle in radians
        double theta = 2 * PI * uniform();
 
        // Get length from center
        double len = sqrt(uniform()) * r;
 
        // Add point to results.
        res.push_back({ x + len * cos(theta),
                        y + len * sin(theta) });
    }
 
    // Return the N points
    return res;
}
 
// Function to display the content of
// the vector A
void printVector(
    vector<pair<double, double> > A)
{
 
    // Iterate over A
    for (pair<double, double> P : A) {
 
        // Print the N random points stored
        printf("(%.2lf, %.2lf)\n",
               P.first, P.second);
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given dimensions
    int R = 12;
    int X = 3;
    int Y = 3;
    int N = 5;
 
    // Function Call
    printVector(randPoint(R, X, Y, N));
    return 0;
}
