Thread: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*crying* is it possible to make a max number for the rand comand its going to high!!!!! *crying*

well....almost:

rand() % 10 will return numbers 0 - 9 inclusive;

and (rand % 8) + 3 will return return numbers 3 - 10 inclusive;

inclusive = numbers from 0 to 9 and including 0 and 9.

Why doesn't it work? Does it compile?

Did you include stdlib? I think the rand function is in ther

it din't minimize the rand cout i wanted it between 140 - 160 but it still went higher no as high but it went to about 700

Well, lets see the way you have it written.

But lets simplify it first:

Try making a for loop that sends a random number between 140 and 170 to cout, then a '\t'. Make it iterate 50 times, and post the source if it does not do what you want it to.

if you want random values in a range try the formula

Code:

a + rand() % (b-a+1)

where a = lower range
b = upper range

In your case a= 140, b = 160

Just use the random func from the FAQ.

Code:

int random(int low, int high) { // my random function
srand(time(NULL));
return low + rand()%(high-low+1);
}
