Using <random> in code playground. Am I doing this right?

Question

I have got the include <random> to work correctly in code playground! It now returns different random set of numbers each time it is run.

Please let me know if this is the correct usage. Or if I am doing this incorrectly, can you point me in the right direction.

Thanks All!

:) Thanks James.

If you look at my previous attempts at using <random> in code playground you will see it returns the same set of random numbers each time the program is executed.

My main question/s are:

* Is the method I have used (using RDTSC) to generate a seed correct?

* Are there any pitfalls (apart from the obvious compiler dependancy) in using this method.

Sorry. I guess my question wasnt very clear.
