Srand

Question

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main () {
srand(98);

{
cout << 1 + (rand() % 6) << endl;
}
}
why here it's outputting only 5 everytime?

Answer 1

Add #include <ctime> to header rows

Modify seeder as srand ( time (0) )

Answer 2

Ohk

Answer 3

then what's the use of using this code which i have mentioned in the question... because it outputs the same number always

Answer 4

With regards to your other question on how to get a random number between 1 - 100, this code is almost there. Just replace % 6 with % 101

Answer 5

include the correct header file <time>. Then use srand(time()).

But it will only output 1 - 5 because of the %6

Answer 6

I suspect it has something to do with your seed. You only allow 1 - 5, but "start" with 98
