Code: [Select]

      int secretNumber = rand() % 100 + 1;
Will make it between 1 and 101 IIRC. Use

Code: [Select]

      unsigned short int secretNumber = (rand() % 99) + 1;
instead.

I made something similar for my first program:

In other news, I managed to jury-rig a Parker-type converter to work with a standard C/C pen. I have more ink options now.

Code: [Select]

      int secretNumber = rand() % 100 + 1;
Will make it between 1 and 101 IIRC.

By the book, using the modulus will give a number between 0 and 99, so adding one moves it into the 1-100 range.

[lordnincompoop]

Ah. Well, I guess I learnt something today.

[Rose]

yeah, modulus can never give 100, because you can never get 100 as a remainder when you  divide by 100

[lordnincompoop]

I always wondered why I could never get a 6 on the dice rolls.

I also just tried playing X-COM: Interceptor.

Don't feel bad, it's better than getting shot in the face.

Right?

Completely ignoring the previous 2 thousand pages, and staying in line with the thread title, some random person just friended me on steam, gifted me L4D2, a game I've really looked forward to getting at some point, and then left.

Best day ever.

Playing Haven and Hearth, found a couple of mines for taking in the area.

Sounds like the set up for a creepy pasta.

[Gunner-Chan]

creepy pasta.

[Akura]

Pasta not happeh!



It's blizzarding right now. Really hard. Supposed to be about 2' of snow by tomorrow morning.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Creepy Pasta makes me happy, if it's well done.

I feel a little weird that the game I'm most looking forward to coming out soon is a Hentai game, But whatever. I'm pretty happy. :3
