How to use random functions in 'c' language?
The rand() function will always return a value between 0 and an implementation-defined quantity, RAND_MAX. To use rand() to produce integers in the range from x


to y, inclusive, you should use something like:





/* initialize random generator */


srand ( time(NULL) );








int result = x+(int) ((y -x +1) * (double)rand()/(RAND_MAX + 1.0));


____________________








/*Alternative: Use the modulus operator (%) to bring the number in range.*/





printf ("A number between 0 and RAND_MAX : %d\n", rand());





printf ("A number between 0 and 99: %d\n", rand() % 100);





printf ("A number between 0 and 9: %d\n", rand() % 10);

srand(time(0));


int random=rand()%255+1; //from 1 to 255


}
