C++ Random Number Generation Code

The document provides a C++ code snippet for generating a random number using the rand and srand functions. It explains that rand generates a pseudorandom number, while srand sets the starting point for random number generation. The code initializes the random number generator with the current time as the seed and outputs a random number between 0 and 99.

//Random Number Generation C++ Code – S@meer Akr@m

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int num;

srand( time(0) );
num = rand() % 100;

cout << "Random Number Generated = " << num;

cout << endl;


system("pause");
return 0;
}

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The rand function generates a pseudorandom number

int rand( void );

Return Value

rand returns a pseudorandom number, as described above. There is no error return.

Remarks

The rand function returns a pseudorandom number

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

srand function sets a random starting point

void srand( unsigned int seed );

Parameters
seed
Seed for random-number generation

Remarks

The srand function sets the starting point for generating a series of pseudorandom integers in the
current thread. To reinitialize the generator, use 1 as the seed argument. Any other value for seed
sets the generator to a random starting point. rand retrieves the pseudorandom numbers that are
generated. Calling rand before any call to srand generates the same sequence as calling srand
with seed passed as 1.
