rand ( )rand ( )

x = rand ( ) ;x = rand ( ) ;

A call goes to ” rand ( ) “ , it A call goes to ” rand ( ) “ , it generates a number and returns generates a number and returns to xto x

Calling rand ( )Calling rand ( )

It returns the remainderIt returns the remainder

rand ( ) % 6 = rand ( ) % 6 = ??

Result has to be between 0 and 5 inclusiveResult has to be between 0 and 5 inclusive

1 + rand ( ) % 6 1 + rand ( ) % 6

It will randomly generate number between It will randomly generate number between 1 and 61 and 6

Modulus “ % ”Modulus “ % ”

If a die is rolled 10/100 million of time , If a die is rolled 10/100 million of time , then on average equal number of then on average equal number of 1’s ,equal number of 2’s , equal 1’s ,equal number of 2’s , equal number of 3’s etc. will be generatednumber of 3’s etc. will be generated

constconst

const int arraySize = 100 ;const int arraySize = 100 ;

It creates an identifier “ arraySize ” It creates an identifier “ arraySize ” and assigns a value 100. This is and assigns a value 100. This is

called integer constant . It is called integer constant . It is notnot a variablea variable
