[Question] Random number below a set number

OK, so basically I want to make a guessing game. The variable "CorrectGuess" should be random. I found a lot of articles on random numbers, ranging from printing out 1-10 to just generating any old number. I want the number to be less then AND greater then a certain number. (Like greater then 1 less then 100) Any help on this subject would be extremely appreciated.

I've actually always wanted to do this, because the rand() in Java is different from the rand() in C++. Basically all you need to do is call rand() and then "mod" it '%' by watever values you want the random number between.

So:
Would give you values between 0-9;
Would give you values between 1-10;

rand - C++ Reference

If I'm correct, you need to give rand a seed first(a number to apply some mathematical algorithm to, thus generating a random number). To do this you must first call srand, which will set the seed. A good place to find a seed is to get the system up time and use that.

Better yet, consider using

int iRandom;
rand_s(&iRandom);

Thank you both for your replies, I'm going to look into it.
