What's wrong with my random number generator?

Question

I\'m just diving into some C++ and I decided to make a random number generator (how random the number is, it really doesn\'t matter). Most of the code is copied off then net

Answer 1

Don't call srand() within random_number(). This will re-seed the random number generator every call. For 100 calls, you'll very likely get the same seed every call, and therefore the same number.
