In fact, like I use real numbers, the achieved numbers are between 0
and 99.9999999999...
analytically.. the number is in the range  [0..100)  It can be 0 but no 100.

In this situation, an int truncation must be performed ...

I allways use this instruction:
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) *rand()/RAND_MAX );

With this, a random number is used to seed the next random number...
it is more reliable.
