that says nothing, the command is telling C++ to generate a random number, but not actually calculating one.

let's say,

printf ("A number between 0 and 99: %d\n", rand()%100);

and the ouput is 46

where did that 46 come from? no one seems to understand my question. But i think i should have just left it alone after the small clock theory, cuz that's probably as accurate as it will get
