Trimming Rand Int Values

[Sindorius]

Hello. I am trying to create a program in C++ that simulates rolling dice. I am trying to create a random integer value using the srand and rand functions, but am not sure how I should "trim" the returned value to a die number between 1 and 6 (which I have declared as global MIN and MAX variables) simplistically. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's what the modulo operation is for: int roll=rand()%(MAX-MIN+1)+MIN;

Ah wow I feel dumb. Thank you very much.
