How to get current seed from C++ rand()?

Question

I generate a few thousand object in my program based on the C++ rand() function. Keeping them in the memory would be exhaustive. Is there a way to copy the CURRENT

Answer 1

You could try saving the value that you used to seed right before (or after) the srand.

So, for example:

int seed = time(NULL);
srand(time(NULL));

cout << seed << endl;
cout << time(NULL);

The two values should be the same.
