int a; don't make a program without it.
First RAND_MAX isn't guaranteed to be a short
If you want a larger rand, then simply do something like rand() * rand()
If you want a float in the range 0..1, then do (float)rand() / RAND_MAX, and scale accordingly
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.
