Create a random string or number in Qt4

Question

Is there any function or something like that by which I can create totally random strings or numbers?

Answer 1

Here is the good answer using qrand(). The solution below uses QUuid, as already was suggested above, to generate random and unique ids (they are all hex numbers):

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    // random hex string generator
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        QString str = QUuid::createUuid().toString();
        str.remove(QRegularExpression("{|}|-")); // if you want only hex numbers
        qDebug() << str;
    }

    return a.exec();
}

Output
