Random Function in C

The rand() function in C generates pseudo-random numbers in a set sequence that repeats each time the program is run. It returns an integer between 0 and RAND_MAX, a constant that is at least 32767. A program using rand() in a loop to generate 5 random numbers will output the same sequence of numbers each time the code is compiled and executed.

rand ()

rand() function is used in C to generate random numbers. If we generate a sequence of


random number with rand() function, it will create the same sequence again and again
every time program runs. Say if we are generating 5 random numbers in C with the help
of rand() in a loop, then every time we compile and run the program our output must be
the same sequence of numbers.
Syntax:
int rand(void):
returns a pseudo-random number in the range of 0 to RAND_MAX.
RAND_MAX: is a constant whose default value may vary
between implementations but it is granted to be at least 32767.

// C program to generate random numbers


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

// Driver program
int main(void)
{
// This program will create same sequence of
// random numbers on every program run

for(int i = 0; i<5; i++)


printf(" %d ", rand());
return 0;
}
