Random Number Genorator
 
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
Code:
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

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

Just remove that
Code:
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.
