random numbers trouble (randomize,random,rand) 1

[biot023]

Hallo.
This is something I've never really sorted:
I need to generate a sequence of random numbers that I can be certain won't repeat every time the program starts from scratch.
I know the randomize() function, but it doesn't seem to be working - perhaps I'm putting it in the wrong place, I don't know.
I also know some people seed the random number generator with the system time, but I've never done this.
Could anyone offer any help?
Cheers,
Douglas JL

Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.

use rand and srand. srand initializes rand, so you should initialize it with timestamp.
