Generating a random number in your program is a fundamental programming skill. For example, they’re essential for simulation and modeling. Especially for natural processes that are random. Or maybe you want to give a user random suggestions to help in their creative process. Random number generators are key!
But if you're a beginner, you're probably going to be using a random number generator for your games. For example, if you want to simulate a coin flip or a die roll.
When I was first coding in my TI-83, I was using a random number generator for this space game I was developing. I had these two airships and I was controlling one ship, but I wanted the computer I wanted a computer to fight with lol. So I used a random number generator to give the computer some “intelligence” to move in different kinds of ways and shoot at me at different random times. That game was fun to program and play haha
In this tutorial, I’ll be going over how to use a random number generator in C! I’ll also introduce you to the programming concepts of “seeding” and “pseudorandom number generators”.
In this video, you'll learn:
✅ when to use random number generators in your programs
✅ how to generate random numbers
✅ how to generate random strings
