random() function in Visual Studio

random() and randomize() functions are not working in any compiler except Turbo C++.

Here we'll tell you how to use random() function in visual studio, dev c++ and other compilers.

Here is code fragment :-

num = 1+ rand() % (n+1-1);

This code will generate a random number between 1 and n. You can use any value in place of n, provided that it is an integer.

Like for example,

num = 1+ rand() % (20+1-1);

This code will generate any number randomly between 1 to 20.

This will not generate the number 0.

Note :- This code will also run of turbo C++

Here is an program using this function,

#include

#include

#include

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int num;

for (int i = 0; i < 20; ++i)

{

num = 1 + rand() % (40 + 1 - 1);

cout << num<

}

_getch();

return 0;

}

Output of above code :-

You may get different output.

And there is no need to use randomize() function. Everytime it will generate different number.

Now problem regarding with random() function is solved.
