I am very new with C & C++ and was wondering if they had
somekind of randomize statement. (Like QBasics RANDOMIZE TIMER only in
C's confusing lingo (G) ). If you could help me with this I would be
very greatfull.... And it would be nice if you could tell me how to
initialize the variables to be random (hopefully this is possible).
Later,
James

JM>initialize the variables to be random (hopefully this is possible).

int rand(void);

rand uses a multiplicative congruential random number generator with period
2 [to the 32 power] to return succesive pseudorandom numbers in the range
from 0 to RAND_MAX. The sympolic constant RAND_MAX is defined in the
stdlib.h file.

I hope that helps. I am just as new at this as you are. The above is quoted
from my Borland C++ 4.0 Library Reference manual.
