The biggest value of an unsigned int = 2^32 = 4294967296, which is 10 digits long. So that means that when the user wants a number with more than 10 digits, the program will be giving smaller numbers... Test it yourself
Thanx Alot Snip for the given code...
The problem with that code is: It may repeat the same numbers..That is, it may generate 33 for example more than one time...So How can I eliminate this ?
Other problem is: How can I get the specifies length ? For example, If I say the number of digits required is 5....So 33 maybe one of the random numbers generated. I don't want to get 33, I want to get 00033 which consists of 5 digits...So How can I solve this extra problem ?
Thanx again Snip...
