add srand(time(0)); to the start of main function and you also need to add #include <ctime>

You need a random function based on time. Set a seed based on the current time to generate a random number based off of a different seed every time.

because, the rand() function is not truly random. if u want to generate truly random number I suggest you use srand(time(0)); and don't forget to include <ctime>

like they mentioned above, you can use srand(time(0)). in addtion , if you use visual studio as your compiler,you can use srand(time(nullptr)) as well.
