Re: [Dev-C++] Generate random number

[Matt V. <mat...@ya...>]

You could seed rand() with system time:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

time_t ltime;   
unsigned int seconds = time(&ltime);
srand(seconds);
int num = rand();

int main()
{
    printf("Random number is %d", num);
    return(0);
}


It would still be a "pseudo random number", but it ought to be different most every time.  Search Google for random number generation solutions of far greater complexity.
