rand

int rand(void)

Generates a pseudo-random integer.

Returns

int

The pseudo random integer that was generated.

Notes

• The pseudo-random integer sequence produced by using a loop has a period of 2**32 (i.e. the sequence repeats after 2**32 integers have been produced).

• The function srand may be used to seed rand (a seed is an integer from which rand begins to generate integers).
