    need help on a small programm

    Hi, I have a "big problem" because I'm more than a beginner in C and I have to make a small program that extract a random number from a given range. I also want to ask if I can make something like that to work with excel - I have a numbered list of persons in excel and i should random extract one person. Can a little program generate a random number based on numbers in excel list and then in output to show the generated number and the person who has this number? Can anyone help me with hints or other resources? Please ...
    Thank you,

    Excel also has a rand() function, which can be used in much the same way.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
