How to generate a random number between 1-200 in C?

Question

What is the most basic, beginner way to generate a random number between 1-200 in C? Nothing I try is working

Answer 1

Terms are the upper limit, lower limit and the gap between numbers e.g. +1 = 1,2,3,4 while +2 = 2,4,6,8

(rand() % (upper - lower + gap)) + lower;

So to generate a random number between 1-200, with gap between numbers of +1 (1, 2, 3.....):

(rand() % (200 - 1 + 1)) + 1;

Also, in your program, you need to call #include <stdlib.h> header file, since this is where rand function is supported

Answer 2

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

void main()
{
  int num;
  srand(time(NULL));
  num=rand()%200+1;
  printf("%d\n",num);
}
