    You can use the randamize function... Function rand(100).. So random numbers within 100 . TO store them into variables..


    a=rand(100).. You have to include the file math.h

    >>> Function rand(100)..

    You may be able to on some compilers, but it is not standard.

    use an array and a loop.....
    get 10 random numbers between 1 and 40 ...
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include<cstdlib>
    #include <ctime>
    using namespace std;
    int main ()
    {
    srand((unsigned)time(NULL)); // seed random number generator with system time
    int MyRand[10]={0}; // an array to store our random values;
    for(int i=0;i<10;++i)
    {
    MyRand[i]=rand()%40+1; // get random number between 1 and 40 and store in array
    cout<<MyRand[i]<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
    }

    This is a very simple task my friend....

    Somewhere in your program perferibly at the beginning have
    srand(clock());

    to set the random seed.

    and to assign a variable to be a random number from whatever
    say... from 1 to 100.

    num = rand()%99+1;

    thats it


    Thank you have a nice day.
