C Variable Type : Exercise-5 with Solution

Write a C program to generate a random number.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>

	int main ()
	{
		int number, input;
		/* initialize random seed: */
		srand ( time(NULL) );
		/* Generate a random number: */
		number = rand() % 10 + 1;
		do {
				printf ("\nGuess the number (1 to 10): ");
				scanf ("%d",&input);
				if (number > input)
					printf ("The number is higher\n");
			} while (number!=input);
		printf ("That is correct!\n\n");
		return 0;
	}
	

Sample Output:
