srandom and random
-
Sorry to get more and more questions here, but with your support I am solving issues one by one :) I got 2 errors:
error C3861: 'srandom': identifier not found
error C3861: 'random': identifier not foundthe problem is I don't know how to replace them with Windows versions ... because I didn't found them as defined somewhere ... from your experience, what could be similar windows functions ?

Maybe you can have a look at <random> header[^] and/or srand (<cstdlib> header)[^]?

Probably need to use
srand()andrand()."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson
"Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come. It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it." - Michael Simmons
"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." - James D. Miles

Works, but is it wise? Depending no what you are doing, you might want to use the [rand_s ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/rand-s?view=vs-2019) function instead. Be aware that some implementations of
rand()have quite short periods and are predictable, so may not be a good choice if you require a good source of randomness. See also [MSC30-C. Do not use the rand() function for generating pseudorandom numbers - SEI CERT C Coding Standard - Confluence](https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/MSC30-C.+Do+not+use+the+rand()+function+for+generating+pseudorandom+numbers) -

I have tried to use
srand_sandrand_s, but no one is recognized by my compiler:error C3861: 'srand_s': identifier not found
