RANDOM NUMBERS

Unknown

I read the post "Random numbers below" and was wondering how I could get the random numbers say between 1 and 10? Any help would be great! Thanks

This will put a random number in r between 1 and 10.

int r;

r=rand()%10 + 1;

First call rand function:

x=rand()%10;

and if you wanna generate different numbers

everytime you run the program call this one first:

srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );

you will have to include header time.h and stdlib.h

Hey, that worked great! Thanks

I have another question :-)

How would I make that random number able to be random between 46-72?

There may be an easier way of doing this, but I have used something similar to this in the past successfully.

first get a random number equal to the range of values (72 - 46 = 26)

x = rand()%26;

now we a have a random number 0 through 25. Now write a function to convert it to the proper format

int converter(int x) {

if(x == 0) return 46; else

...

...

...

if(x == 25) return 72;

}

Now use the code:

number = rand()%26;

number = converter(number);

to get a random number in the range you need.

As I said there may be an easier way, but you can modify this method to make a range of random numbers that are all perfect cubes or any other strange set of random numbers that you want.
