    yay I made it all by myself

    It's a little short and pointless, but I'm happy I could make it and not ask any questions.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std; 
    
    int main()
    {
      srand( (unsigned int) time (0));   
        
      for ( int x = rand()%20; x > 0; x-- ) {
          
        cout<< x <<endl;
      }
      cin.get();
    }
    My computer is awesome.

    not nice. Function 'main()' should return a value .

    its 'int main()' not 'void main()' so it SHOULD return a value.

    They're right that it should return a value, but otherwise it does what you want, and this is obviously one of your first programs, so I say keep up the good work
    See you in 13

    No, main() does not have to return anything. It must specify int as its return type, but it doesn't have to return anything.

    I made a guessing game program there was a big post with my questions called randomizing?
    Any ideas on what kind of program I should make now? I'm making one just to make fun of my friend but thats not important.

    Where are the headers for srand, rand, and time?

    On your machine, with your compiler, today. That's a bad habit to get into.
