Generating Random Numbers in C++: Exploring rand(), srand(), and time() Functions [Tutorial] [8]

[@Leonidnrv]

Having a hard time to understand srand and why we need to change the seed. Now it's clear. Thank you!

[@leythecg]

Once again brought to the point without much fuss! Thank you very much! 👍👍👍

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

Glad it was helpful!

@@ProfessorHankStalica thank you professor!on point! like the hat!

[@officialdanieldsouza]

Excellent tutorial! I tried to understand the same concept through reading some blog articles online but didn't fully grasp the concepts that you discussed in clear, simple level of understanding in this video. Thanks again!!

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

Glad it was helpful!

[@duttybwoy556]

Very good , clear and simple explanation !!! good job... I also saw this line srand(time(NULL)); on top of the main function for this to not generate the same number all the time

[@pelecaj7067]

short and to the point. thanks

The funny thing about ChatGPT is that it's wrong. A lot. Don't depend on it for school work. 1. It's cheating. 2. You won't learn anything. 3. It's wrong a lot.

Thank you so much! This video is a life saver.

How would you go about reading a user input in the range of numbers? For example, if you wanted them to pick a number 1 - 10. How could you make it so it reads if they picked within that range?

[@brigadut]

int x = time(NULL); srand(x); int range = 100; int randomNumber = (rand() + 1) % range; std::cout

thx! very useful

Glad it helped!

[@omarmohammed9938]

So if I wanted to generate random number from 0 to 12 Then i do this right? Cout

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

Close. rand() % 13 because of how modulus works. If you divide any number by 13 by, the remainder will be any integer from 0 - 12.

[@yooniecardbtsclips]

Thankssss

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

You are welcome.

[@youssefkawtharani2536]

What if i want the user to enter a random number and the program should tell true or false?

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

if(userEnteredNumber == randomNumberGenerated) cout

[@hosseinbachari6732]

Thanks , your voice is a little low

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

I'll work on that in future videos. Thanks.

You look charismatic, however can pull off the goofiest face in the party at anytime.

Now, if only the ladies thought so, I'd be in business... 👍🤣😂

@@ProfessorHankStalica you're the cool professor in college for sure 🫶🫶😂

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

@@M7medKasem Well, far be it from me to argue with someone with such obvious intelligence!

[@Aarpod]

You shoulda wrote the textbook im using for class right now. I don’t know how the author is gonna just drop rand/srand in an example program without context and be like: “Edit the program so it displays 1-10” Like nah thats not how it works chief
