Thread: help with random number range

here is my program

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<time.h>

main() {
       
       float i,r;
       srand( time( 0 ) );
       
       for(i=1;i<5;i++){
                          r=rand()%40;
                          r=r/5;
                          
                          if(i>1){
                          printf("%1.0f\n",r);
                          }
                          }
                          
       printf("Hit any key to exit\n");
       getchar();
                          
       return 0;
       }

I don't know how to get it to exclude 0, i've tried if statements already and such. Also I don't know how to set up the minum value of the random numbers, can anyone help me with that. Like say I wanted to do 2-8...Thanks in advance.

thanks,now to get the range higher I would just add more then 1 correct?

Why don't you try a simple set of test cases, and view your result?

Better yet, think about what the expression is doing.
