Question

Need help with C Programming!

Answer 1

How do you make C choose a random number between a range (for example 2 to 6)?

Answer 2

dude this is mathematics not programming

Answer 3

lol

Answer 4

But where do I possibly ask a programming question? The Computer Science section is not even so active.

Answer 5

Then, English

Answer 6

That doesn't make any sense.

Answer 7

sry

Answer 8

idk man

Answer 9

google?

Answer 10

There's enough mathematics in this question, I think.

Are we rolling dice? Use the rand() function. This should produce [0,1]
It uses a fixed seed, so it you want it to be more random, you should use srand(unisgned int seed) . Default seed is 1.
Careful how you manipulate this. If you multiply by 6 and round, you may not get what you expect.

Answer 11

@tkhunny Here's a program that I wrote to generate a random number between 2 and 6.

#include <stdio.h>

{
int random_number;

srand(time(NULL));
random_number = rand() % 7 + 2;

printf("%d\n", random_number);

return 0;
}

But I get an error when I compile it. Can you please check it?

Answer 12

Click the key and r It will open Command run, then go to roaming then you can use it.

Answer 13

Two things:
1) Is TIME() integer?
2) Why would % 7 + 2 be [2-6]?

I don't know much about it. C isn't really where I live.
