    randomize hex digits

    is it possible to randomize hex numbers, much the same way rand()/srand() randomize decimal? I assume if its possible, you would use rand()/srand(), but not sure. Thanks in advance.

    Just don't forget to put
    Code:
      unsigned seed=time(NULL);
      srand(seed);
    Again, don't worry about seed base.

    The base of a number is merely for viewing purposes, it is all 0's and 1's underneath it all.

    Why don't you randomize an integer, then convert to decimal.
    Or I didn't understand the question.
    none...
