randomize() in Visual Studio 6.0

[RSTR]

I am having some trouble using randomize.

I believe that the function is located in stdlib.h

In turbo c++, I have this written:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
int x;
randomize();
x = random (100);
cout << x;
return 0;
}

This works fine in Turbo C++, but when I put the same code in Microsoft Visual C++, I get an &quot;undeclared identifier&quot; error on the two functions. Could someone please explain this to me?

if you want a number between 1 & 100 use:

x = (1 + rand() % 100)

you should read more about this because if you are running this routine multiple time you will need to seed the random number generator using srand() so that you don't receive the same set of values everytime. You can seed it by using the clock

#include <time.h>
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );

You have to use srand(unsigned int) to start random

and &quot;rand ()&quot; to get values...
