I need to generate objects of a class I have created in a program and that generation must follow the Poisson distribution.How do I do that? The program is a simulation of an airport and at any given timeslot of the simulation I need to know how many new airplanes have come.It is their arrival that follows the Poisson distribution.

Download GSL (GNU Scientific Library):
You may extract its gsl_ran_poisson() function with its dependencies and use it in your program. Self-made Poisson distribution numbers generator will be worse (because of a very bad uniform distribution function in most of compilers RTLs)...
