Why is the result here constantly 41 if it is meant to produce random numbers?

#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main() { cout << rand(); // Outputs 16 return 0; }

Add these: #include <ctime> Before use rand: srand(time(0)); No idea why, random numbers are annoying in C++

That gave random numbers, thanks. Is this using time to randomize?
