    Using rand()?

    Is there a simple way when using the rand() function to limit it to lets say between 0 and 100?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
      int number;
      number = rand() % 100;
    
      printf("Random number 0 - 100: %d", number);
    
      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    You would have to do rand() % 101 for it to be 0-100, because if a number is some multiple of 100 then it would be modulis 0, not 100.
