    classes

    ive got a problem why does 'the_number' always = 1 ?
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <ctime>
    #include <cstring>
    using namespace std;
    
    class game
    {
    public:
    
    	int the_number;
    	int guess;
    };
    
    int main()
    {
    	game guess_game;
    
    	guess_game.the_number = rand() %10;
    
    	cout <<"the number is "<<guess_game.the_number<<endl;
    	cin.get();
    
    	return 0; // exit success
    }

    because you haven't seeded the random number generator

    Initialize the random generator.

    srand(time(NULL));

    cgod,

    This means that the problem isn't in the class ( as your thread title implies ), the same thing would happen to a normal variable even if it's not in a class.
    none...

    What's the point of using a class here if you aren't going to have it do anything? A struct would be better here, because it's less typing in that you don't have to make anything implicitly public.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
