How do you make a random number genorator, in C++, between a set range?
Like 10-20?

Hello

First of all I would like to Welcome you to this community of programmers.

Here is the code to do what you need

int CWordsDlg::GetRandomNumer(int high,int low)
 {
   time_t SeedTime;
   struct tm SeedDate;
   SeedTime = time(0);
   SeedDate = *localtime(&SeedTime);
   int FinalSeed = (int)SeedTime + SeedDate.tm_mday + (SeedDate.tm_mon+1) + (SeedDate.tm_year+1900);
   srand((unsigned int) FinalSeed);
 
   int Interval = high - low + 1;
   int RandomOffset = rand() % Interval;
   int RandomNumber = low + RandomOffset;
   return RandomNumber;
 }

Its a fairly simple function which needs any explanation but then also if you need any just put a post here.

Thanks

Thanks, but where do i imput my range numbers? Like 7-10?

As a parameter to the function and it will give result output a random number between the parameter high and low.

It says 'CWordsDlg' has not been declared.

Just remove that

int GetRandomNumer(int high,int low)
 {
   time_t SeedTime;
   struct tm SeedDate;
   SeedTime = time(0);
   SeedDate = *localtime(&SeedTime);
   int FinalSeed = (int)SeedTime + SeedDate.tm_mday + (SeedDate.tm_mon+1) + (SeedDate.tm_year+1900);
   srand((unsigned int) FinalSeed);
 
   int Interval = high - low + 1;
   int RandomOffset = rand() % Interval;
   int RandomNumber = low + RandomOffset;
   return RandomNumber;
 }

As it was taken from my MFC Application that class name came up.

Linker error are because there are some errors in your Main Program and not in the code given above.
