[Warning] assignment to `int' from `double'
<code>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
int i;
i=rand() / (double)RAND_MAX * 12;
int thetime=time(NULL);
srand(thetime);
cout<<i;
return 0;
}
</code>
What is wrong with that ?
To use code tags, you need to use square brackets not angles.. '[]' not '<>'.
Next, you should 'seed' the random number generator before you use it, you are doing it the other way round. Finally, the warning you are getting is because you are assigning a floating point value to an integer. If you are only interested in the integer part of your random number, you can cast it to an int to tell the compiler that you know what you are doing. Note: compiler warnings are not the same as errors, however, ignore them at your peril.
i = (int) (rand() / (double)RAND_MAX * 12);
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.

i = (int) (rand() / (double)RAND_MAX * 12);
Even if i insert that line it doesnt return a random number :/ always returns zero.
Post your revised code.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
Code:#include <iostream.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> int main() { int i; i = (int) (rand() / (double)RAND_MAX * 12); int thetime=time(NULL); srand(thetime); cout<<i; return 0; }
You want to seed the generator before using rand or the first call will always use the same seed. Also time() doesn't return an int, it returns a time_t. It usually helps to test your generator by looping over it a few times to make sure that the numbers change, try this :-)
Code:#include <iostream.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> int main() { srand(time(NULL)); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { int r = (int) (rand() / (double)RAND_MAX * 12); cout<<r<<endl; } }
