  #include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Function A: Numbers divisible by 5, 6, 9, and 10
	int k, Hold;
	k = 0;
	while ( k < 20 )
	{
		Hold = rand();
		if ( Hold > 101 && Hold < 3000 && Hold % 5 == 0 && Hold % 6 == 0 && Hold % 9 == 0 && Hold % 10 == 0 )
		{
			cout << setw(4) << Hold << endl;
			k = k+1;

		}

	}   
}

However, can someone please help me with code on how to calculate prime numbers. There must be two different functions: One must be a list of 20 random, prime numbers greater than 100 and less than 2000. The other function must be a list od 20, random, prime numbers greater than 200 and less than 5000.
Please try to use code, similar to the one shown above.

with this code you can calculate prime numbers between the range that you want. However i can't do it randomly!

Find primes numbers from: 2
To(greater than the first number please!): 10

[2] is prime
[3] is prime
[5] is prime
[7] is prime

Found: 4
