Re: [Dev-C++] how to use "srand"

[Richard C. <tel...@ya...>]

thing with random numbers is, the same input put into the same processes will only every generate the same "random" numbers, hence the term pseudo-
random.

it was always my understanding that srand() had to be called before rand() but apparently that's not the case... *shrug* but from ioannis it seems 
rand() must have a default seed it runs off.

but most random number classes require a seed, just as a starting point. if this seed is the same, then the random numbers will be the same. but 
using the system time is a pretty good way to mix up your numbers a bit.
