Thread: Rand( ) function blues !

Hi most of all must be knowing how to generate a random number . In this code i have used the rand( ) function so that it will print random numbers from 1 to 10. But if i run it always prints 9 . I think it should print different random numbers isnt it? Am i missing anything here in generating random numbers.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
	int j;
	j=1+(int) (10.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
	printf("%d",j);
	return 0;
}

please help me in understanding rand( ) function
TIA,
