Error Message

Every time I try to run the following program, an error message occurs saying Program5.exe has stopped working. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me why this keeps happening.

int seat_stop = 1;
//...
int new_seat = rand()%(100 - seat_stop);
//...
seat_stop++;

At some point seat_stop will be 100 and you will get a divide by zero error when calculating new_seat.
