rand() and srand() Functions in C++

This is a C++ Program to make use of Rand and Srand functions to generate unique random numbers.

Here is source code of the C++ Program to Use rand and srand Functions. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <stdlib.h>
  3. #include <time.h>
  4.  
  5. using namespace std;
  6.  
  7. int main(int argc, char **argv)
  8. {
  9.     cout << "First number: " << rand() % 100;
  10.     srand(time(NULL));
  11.     cout << "\nRandom number: " << rand() % 100;
  12.     srand(1);
  13.     cout << "\nAgain the first number: " << rand() % 100;
  14.     return 0;

Random number: 98
Again the first number: 41
