Generating random numbers in Objective-C

Question

I\'m a Java head mainly, and I want a way to generate a pseudo-random number between 0 and 74. In Java I would use the method:

Random.nextInt(74)
         


        

Answer 1

Same as C, you would do

#include 
#include 
...
srand(time(NULL));
int r = rand() % 74;

(assuming you meant including 0 but excluding 74, which is what your Java example does)

Edit: Feel free to substitute random() or arc4random() for rand() (which is, as others have pointed out, quite sucky).
