compile error

I'm trying to compile a small program in which I use a random number generator.

The compiler returns an error that says, "void value not ignored as it ought to be"

The line that it refers to the error as being in is as follows:


x = srand(time(0))%25;

Any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

~Dan

Try using this:

// Seed random number generator
srand( static_cast< unsigned >( time( NULL )));

// Get random number between 0 and 24
x = rand() % 25;
