Right. First you need to establish some specifics to answer this question.

1) Is A integer or real ? 
2) Is A in the range 0..15 (A*A/2) , or 0..Sqr(128) ((A/2)*A) is integer
3) Is A in the range 0..255 ?
4) What is the range for Rand()
5) What do you do with overflowed values ?
6) Why do you want to calculate this ?
