I need help figuring out how to generate a set amount of random numbers between two user-inputted values, inclusively. Just so you know, I have searched for this but am not finding what I have just stated. Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int userBeg, userEnd, outPut;
cout << "Enter a start value: ";
cin >> userBeg;
cout << "Enter an end value: ";
cin >> userEnd;
srand(time(NULL)); //generates random seed val
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
//prints number between user input, inclusive
outPut = rand()%((userEnd - userBeg) + 1);
cout << outPut << " ";
}//end for
return 0;
}//end main
I'm confused with the output I get for the following ranges: 1-100 yield output numbers which fall in-between, but not including, the boundaries such as 50, 97, 24, 59, 22. But, 10-20 yield numbers such as 1, 14, 6, 12, 13. Here, the output is outside of the boundaries as well as in-between them. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help!
