srand() is used for seeding the random number, so it should have a seed
number, and rand() uses the seed number to create a random number.
One program could be this:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<time.h>
int main(void){
int i=0;
for(i=0;i<3;i++){
srand(time(NULL));
sleep(1);
fprintf(stdout,"%d\n",rand());
}
return 0;
}
Leaving to this output
1736344033
1425524583
51979966
But look that if you put srand(time(NULL)); before the loop, you would
get this:
66552351
728401698
1801749096
This is the desired way of using srand() and rand().
