Random number problem

[sake]

Hi,
I have a program that generates a random number for each run of a loop, like this:

<snippet>:
int i;
int n;

for(i=0;i<=10;i ++){
n = rand() / (RAND_MAX / 10 + 1);
printf( "n: %d\n", n );
}

Obviously using the time to seed rand() each run wouldn't work because progressing through the loop ten times does not take a second of time. So how would I go about seeding rand() in my program to get 10 different random numbers in my loop?

Thanks,
Sake

dear Sake,
i want to know does this formulla ( printf( "n: %d\n", n ) )in c++???? because i think its in c not c++?!?!?!?!?!?! ?!?!?


and if u know if i can use other furmulla with same meaning please tell me befor wednesday


and i will apreasuated to u :)

You only need to seed the random number generator once for each program execution so you can seed it off time and then happily generate 10 random numbers.

<snippet>:
int i;
int n;

srand(time(NULL));

for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
  n = rand() / (RAND_MAX / 10 + 1);
  printf( "n: %d\n", n );

yeah that's in C...
its just a simple printf statement... not really a formula :\

And thanks, Banfa, i'll try that when i get home :)
