    Random integer (1-10)

    I was wondering how to use the Rand feature ( i think that is what it is called) to make an integer randomize from 1 to 10. ( im a beginner at this)

    P.S If Someone could point me in the direction of a good starter book that would be awesome!

    seed your random number generator:
    Code:
    srand(time(NULL));   // do this once per run of the program

    then you can do this:

    A C++ book i think is awesome is "C++ Programming: from problem analysis to program design" i borrowed the book from someone who is taking a CSCI class the book is pretty expensive though.
