A quick question

Is it possible to assign the value generated from srand()
to a variable??

Cheers

yes.

Code:

srand();
int x = rand();

Or many variations of that, depending on your code...

All srand() does is seed the random numbers you later produce with rand()...it returns void, so you cant assign its return to anything.

Might I suggest this

<edit> Ahh...!.....I saw you change that fry

....Also, srand takes a parameter.....</edit>

thanks guys,

but what about if you have several srands() in your program
and you want to assign them to different variables??

sorry to be a pain.

cheers

You only need to srand() once, i believe.

Playing around with your code is the most effective way to learn what you can and can't do

Always try stuff yourself before asking others, you will learn a great deal more!
