I need to know how to assign the random number to 'x' as it is generated, cheers mate!

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It may depend on how you are getting the random number. For example, <i>rand</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;can be found in <i>stdlib.h</i>. To use it, you would do something like:<br><br>int x;<br>x = rand(); // a random number<br>x = rand(); // another random number<br>x = rand(); // another random number<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To use <i>random</i>, you will need to include <i>stdlib.h</i> and <i>time.h</i> for <i>randomize</i>. You could then use it like:<br><br>randomize();<br>int x;<br>x = random(100); // returns random integer between 0 and 99<br>x = random(100); // returns another random integer between 0 and 99<br>x = random(100); // returns another random integer between 0 and 99<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another common random number generator is <i>srand</i> (also in <i>stdlib.h</i>) which uses a &quot;seed.&quot;<br><br>int x;<br>srand(12348);<br>x = rand(); // a random number<br>x = rand(); // another random number<br>x = rand(); // another random number<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In reality, all of these are pseudo-random generators. <i>srand</i> is very popular since you can give it the current time as a seed to make it appear more random.<br><br>#include &lt;time.h&gt;<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>time_t t;<br>srand((unsigned) time(&t));<br>x = rand(); // a random number<br>x = rand(); // another random number<br>x = rand(); // another random number<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope this helps.<br> <p>James P.
