Hi, i am new to C++. So can anyone help me? I am trying to do some math( either add or multiply) a number to a random generated float( one between 0-0.9999) so it gives an output somewhere between 1-6, i have managed to create the random mumber generated but no matter what i do i cant get the desired output.
Show your code.

You seem to be using C, not C++. It would be helpful if you posted in the right section next time.
Also remove the excessive whitespace.
Multiply "number1" by "number" instead of adding them, for starters. The output for 1 to 6 will be -6.0f to something slightly smaller than 6.0f
Devoted my life to programming...
Turn off whatever crappy formatter you have, and just paste plain text.
This is all the rubbish your "formatter" generated.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
