    To clock a processor..

    I know this post belongs on the plain ol' C++ board, but my posts dissappear on that board! (no mistake).
    Ok, anyways, I need to know if this program I am about to show you is accurate to clock processor speed. Is the processor really working hard?

    PHP Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    int rand(void); 

    int main() 
    {
           
    time_t difference;
        
    int x 0;
        
    int y 0;
        
    int z 0;
        
    int actualZ;
        
    printf("Input the end of the range please (0 - x): x = ");
        
    cin>>z;
        
    actualZ 1;
        
    time_t StartTime time(NULL);
        while(!
    kbhit())
        {
            
    rand() %actualZ;
            
    printf("%d",x);
            
    y++;
        }
        
    time_t EndTime time(NULL);
        
    system("cls");
        
    difference EndTime StartTime;
        
    printf("A random number between 0 and %d ",z);  
        
    printf("was generated %d times ",y);
        
    printf("in %d seconds",difference);
        while(!
    kbhit());

        return 
    0

    Well, what I'm really asking is "does RAM affect the speed of processing random integers?"

    Does it?
