random number between 0 and n??

**justin69enoch** · 02-12-2003

okay, I know that the following will give me a number between 0 and 100; however, if I wanted to go from 0 to a number n, how would i do that ? Perhaps 44 or any number ?? Thanks

Code:

srandom(time(0));
win=random()%100;

Same thing, but replace the literal with a variable :-)

Code:

srandom(time(0));
win=random()%n;

Btw: I'm pretty sure win=random()%100; would give you a number between 0 & 99, not 0 & 100. So in your function you may want to use (n+1) as the variable.

ie

Code:

int n=44;
srandom(time(0));
win=random()%(n+1); // Gives a random number between 0 & n (inclusive)
