rand() function not working?
PostPosted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 6:33 pm     Reply with quote

Compiler version 4.109

Hi, at the risk of being embarrassed... I can't figure out why my program with rand() function won't compile.

Here is the error:

*** Error 76 "SeekWah.c" Line 541(19,20): Expect ;

and line 541 is.....

Code:


counter = rand();


counter is an unsigned char.

Doesn't get much simpler than this right? Anybody got any idea why I'm getting an error here? compiler bug?

Thanks

well, I'm sufficiently embarrassed. I had made a definition "rand" so that was the issue.

Did you set the value of "seed" and initialized the random number
generator "srand"???
