Hi,

I'm trying to use this code to generate a random number between 1 and six
inclusive:

int random_int() {
    srand(time(NULL));
    int random_num=rand()%7;
    return random_num;
}

But it dosen't work. My program is programmed to quit immediantly if the
number is not between 1 and six inclusive, and that is what it does



I believe for 1-6 you want something like:

random_num = ((rand() % 6) + 1);
