Random Numbers

[LN7oGNh0]

When I was making this code, every time the program produces a random number, it is the same thing. I have already seeded the random number so that it makes a random number according to the current date and time. The problem is, I wan t the program to produce a new different number each time. So is using this: srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0))); The only way? And if there is another way please tell me. Also, if this can be changed to make a new number each time the program produces a number?

Thank You.

Call srand only once at the start of main.

[LN7oGNh0]

Do you mean before main()? Or after it?

[Chervil]

Neither before, nor after. During.

OK thanks.

Example:

int main(){
	srand(time( NULL ));
	while ( 1 ){
	int loop = 1;
	A[loop] = (rand()%44);
	cout << A[loop] << endl;
	}
}

I'm sure we already did this.
