Thread: Beginner Help with returning a string of arrays

Hi al, Ive played with C like 5 or 6 years ago but i completely forgot how it works untill recently i'm doing it for a fun project. Anyway heres my code. randstr() will return a 6 char random string. I can printf the results on the randstr() functoin,but whenever i pass the value back to main() to be prinft. i get a lot of weird values. Englighten me!! thanks in advance

Code:

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


char *randstr()
{

	char tempstr[6];
    char rnd;


    /* Set evil seed (initial seed) */
    srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );

    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        rnd = ((float) rand()/RAND_MAX) * 25 + 97;
		tempstr[i] = rnd;
    }
    tempstr[6] = '\0';
//	printf("%s\n",tempstr);
    return tempstr;
}




int main()
{


printf("%s",randstr());
return 0;
}
