# srand function

srand seeds the random number generation function rand so it does not produce the same sequence of numbers.

    Library:   stdlib.h

    Prototype: void srand(unsigned int seed);

    Syntax:	   unsigned int seed=10;       		/* seed value 		*/

               srand();

## Notes

- Obviously the seed has to change every time the program is run. One way to do this is to feed it the O/P from time

example program.
