    random choice

    hello!
    i'd like to know if there's a way to choose one between two numbers.
    e.x. i have 0 and 1 and each time i want one of those two to be selected.does rand() help?
    thank you

    Try
    Code:
    int r = rand() > RAND_MAX/2;
    and remember to include
    Code:
    srand(time(0));
    early in the main function.
