i've been calculating probability for a program of mine
i've been using srand, rand()%2 for say a 50-50
i'd use a if to see if it was between 0 and 1 for one outcome and greater than 1 for the other. It works, but, is there a more accurate or better way to do this?
Lord, have you opened the proverbial "Can of Worms"!?!
Research this one. There are more responses, opinions, thoughts and ideas than you can imagine! (Makes you wish for simpler, happier times! :) )

>>here
very funny, i could've done that myself, i wanted you all to do everything for me! jeese, people these days....:)
wow, for a plethora of worms i didn't find much
maybe i'm searching wrong, but i've found nothing on 3 boards and google game me nothing but crap. Any ideas?
In all honesty, there may be more of a dearth than a plethora of worms concerning your question here.
I ran rather quickly, truth be told, with the rand() thing - which has been done to death - without engaging my brain to incorporate the remainder of your question. My fault.
After some not too serious looking on my own, I basically came up with squat, too. :(
Sorry Waldo2k2.

well i did find a very obscure way of doing this today using the left shift operator on a series of bits...all in all it comes out with either a 1 or a 0 in the value of a variable. It works for me.
As long as it works... :)
