    Unhappy use of random()

    I am editing a previous bit of code given to me .. but I am having a few problems.
    I have compiled the program and used the random() and srandom() fuctions in a similar style to rand as well as included the math.h
    .. but however the system does not recogise these fuctions. Yet compiles with out a problem on a SUN machine.
    Any one got any ideas ?

    Cheers in advance

    well the prob with rand() is that it encompasses a large rang of numbers .. the random() fuction is between 1 and 0 .. I would write another fuction .. but I was hoping to utalise this functionality

    ... or you could just read the FAQ
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
