random number generating problems

hi everyone I have written an algorithm in which there is a part that has to produce random numbers like this:
a=randi(10,1,4)
b=randi(10,1,4)
c=randi(10,1,4)
I need it to produce different sets of numbers everytime I run the algorithm but it uses the same sets of numbers everytime
can anyone help?

In all likelyhood, you're seeding the random number generator with a fixed seed somewhere before calling randi.
Look for a rng(...) instruction and remove it, or insert a rng('shuffle') before calling randi. rng('shuffle') seeds the generator with the current time.

If you aren't setting the random number generator with ANY seed, try ensuring that you provide one based on say, the time of day.
it isn't working with rng and now it is producing not feasible solutions
