Did you include stdlib.h?

Subject:  Random Number Generator




Hi!, I'm writing a program using the random number genrator rand() defined in
<stdlib.h>.  I've written the following program to test it:



void main()
{
  int input1, i;

  srand(time(NULL));

  for (i=0; i<20 ; i++)
    {
      input1 = rand() * 10 / (RAND_MAX + 1);
      printf("random numbers %i\n",input1);

    }
}


BUT, the results I get are all zeros.  Is there something wrong with the gcc
compiler provided by cygwin, because I've tested this program at university, and
it outputs random numbers correctly.

Please Help!

Thank You!
