Give random generator a seed of time(). -----Original Message----- From: openbeos-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:openbeos-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andre Stark Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 2:19 PM To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [openbeos] is rand() really random? Hello there, this is not really an OBOS problem, but a BeOS one. Everytime i execute the following code: for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) cout << "Random:" << rand() <<endl; the resulting values are exactly the same? Until now i do'nt know much about C++ programming, but normally random numbers are generated by including system time in some kind. How does this work on BeOS? Greetings Andre Stark
