    Before Quzah finds this I would do a search for say, off the top of my head, srand.

    Lightbulb random numbers

    well..do this

    #include <time.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main()
    {
    srand((usigned int)(time)(NULL)) // seeds it so get diff. num each time

    int x;
    x = rand() % 6 // this will make a random number 0-5, change the 6 to anythin you like

    return 0;
    }

    And easier way to seed off of time is:

    srand(time(NULL));
