    randomizing order of execution of function

    How would we randomize the order of execution of a set of functions. A random fuction with the starting variable the time of day i.e. minutes.

    Explain what you mean. Are you trying to generate a random number? Are you trying to execute a series of function calls who's order is random? What exactly. You need to give us more parameters for whatever it is you're trying to do.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <time.h>
    
    void myfun1( void );
    void myfun2( void );
    void myfun3( void );
    void myfun4( void );
    void myfun5( void );
    
    int main ( void )
    {
       srand( time( 0 ) );
       switch( rand()%5 )
       {
          case 0: myfun1( ); break;
          case 1: myfun2( ); break;
          case 2: myfun3( ); break;
          case 3: myfun4( ); break;
          case 4: myfun5( ); break;
       }   
        return 0;
    }

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    We are trying to execute a series of function calls whose order is random and whose randomness changes at every program execution
