Thread: Resetting random numbers on the same variable...

Alright, so im storing a random number to a variable using the GetRand function from the tutorial. What im wanting to do is get a different random number assigned to that variable..

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

int GetRand(int min, int max)
{
  static int Init = 0;
  int rc;
  
  if (Init == 0)
  {
    /*
     *  As Init is static, it will remember it's value between
     *  function calls.  We only want srand() run once, so this
     *  is a simple way to ensure that happens.
     */
    srand(time(NULL));
    Init = 1;
  }

  /*
   * Formula:  
   *    rand() &#37; N   <- To get a number between 0 - N-1
   *    Then add the result to min, giving you 
   *    a random number between min - max.
   */  
  rc = (rand() % (max - min + 1) + min);
  
  return (rc);
}

int newnumber;
int number = getrand(1,12345);

int main()
{
  cout<<"Your current random number is: "<<number<<endl;
  cout<<"Enter '1' for a new number: ";
  cin>>newnumber;
  if(newnumber==1)
  { 
     cout<<"Your new random number is: "<<number<<endl;
  }
  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
}

Please forgive the crude example program, im sure im missing a header or something. Id really appreciate any help that you all are willing to offer.
