rand() returns same values when called within a single function

Question

I\'m a C++ newbie and I\'m stumped on this. I need to call this function in my main function three times but each time it gives me the same result, i.e. pull_1, pull_2, pul

Answer 1

You shouldn't call srand() before each call to rand(). Call it once – somewhere at the start of your program.

The problem is you restart the random generator so it starts to produce the very same pseudorandom sequence from the very same point.
