    Use rand() (and seed first with srand()). Look them up in your C++ book or try this tutorial:

    I guess it should be like this

    Code:
    int x = randomValue;
    
    randomValue = 0 + rand()%100;

    >randomValue = 0 + rand()%100;
    I suggest you read both our FAQ and the tutorial posted previously to learn why this is not the best idea.
