I want to cin a random character, I tried adding stdlib.h library and used rand(), but it keeps giving me this error

Question

error : the system cannot find the file specified.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
for (int i = 1; i < 20 ; i ++){
cout << rand() % 6 + 1;
if (i % 5 == 0)
cout << endl;
}
system ("pause") ;
}

Answer 1

Zohal Please,

- Specify in your question tags, which language the answers were expected. I saw you mentioned `cin` so presumably C++ (add C++ to tags).

- Save and share that code so everyone can see, and offer effective and efficient assistance.

Just in case you didn't know how to share links. Follow this guide 👍

Good news is (or may be bad, not sure), code runs in Code Playground.

Try `#include <cstdlib>` instead of `#include <stdlib.h>`. The former is C++ way, the latter I guess was meant for C codes.
