Would anybody like to help me to produce a random number for my C++ guessing game?

Sure. Here's one: 6410086356. Or you could use rand() and srand(). /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

If you are content with pseudo-random numbers, use rand().

srand((unsigned) time(NULL)); this is what I use to "seed" the random number generator. Otherwise the numbers won't be so random. number=(rand()%6)+1; this picks a random number 1-6. (0-5 until you get to the +1). :)
