I jsut read somewhere that it said it was impossible ofr a computer to generate a random number.

srand();
rand(time(NULL));

Well, It's not exactly random, but very close to it. it depends on the time the function is called, which is not that random in some cases. Still, it's good enough for anything you need

a random number CAN have parameters.

Say i want a randnum between 1 and 23232323. Even if i make it so it will be in those, its still random because the computer is not given an initial value.

Too easy to see the pattern from GetTickCount. Use CryptGenRandom or Boost::Random
