srand

Initializes the pseudorandom number generator.

Format

#include  <math.h>

void srand  (unsigned int seed);

Argument

seed
An unsigned integer.

Description

This function uses the argument as a seed for a new sequence of pseudorandom numbers to be returned by subsequent calls to rand.

If rand is called before any calls to srand, the sequence of pseudorandom numbers is generated as if the seed were set to 1.
