cpp rand() code example

Example 1: making random numbers in c++

/* rand example: guess the number */
#include <stdio.h>      /* printf, scanf, puts, NULL */
#include <stdlib.h>     /* srand, rand */
#include <time.h>       /* time */

int main ()
{
  int iSecret, iGuess;

  /* initialize random seed: */
  srand (time(NULL));

  /* generate secret number between 1 and 10: */
  iSecret = rand() % 10 + 1;

  do {
    printf ("Guess the number (1 to 10): ");
    scanf ("%d",&iGuess);
    if (iSecret<iGuess) puts ("The secret number is lower");
    else if (iSecret>iGuess) puts ("The secret number is higher");
  } while (iSecret!=iGuess);

  puts ("Congratulations!");
  return 0;
}

Example 2: cpp rand

std::srand(std::time(nullptr)); 		// set rand seed
v1 = std::rand() % 100;         // v1 in the range 0 to 99
v2 = std::rand() % 100 + 1;     // v2 in the range 1 to 100
v3 = std::rand() % 30 + 1985;   // v3 in the range 1985-2014

Example 3: rand() c++

v1 = rand() % 100;         // v1 in the range 0 to 99  --Credit goes to Clever cowfish
v2 = rand() % 100 + 1;     // v2 in the range 1 to 100
v3 = rand() % 30 + 1985;   // v3 in the range 1985-2014
