Recommended way to initialize srand?
I have the following problem when using srand() in c.
I call srand(time(NULL)) in a loop, but the loop finishes before 1 sec and every time I call the rand() I get the same value.
How can I solve this?
because the seed is bound into the time() which are seconds since unix epoch, basically you're giving it the same seed because the loop takes less than a second.
What you should do is get the time in microseconds. Take a look at gettimeofday() if you're coding for windows google microseconds win32 C, you mind need to convert it from double to integerso just do this (unsigned int)double * 100.0f;
