I wrote the following piece of code to generate random numbers in c++
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#define ARRAY_SIZE 5
#define MAX_VAL ARRAY_SIZE*5+1
int main() {
srand(time(NULL));
int arr [ARRAY_SIZE];
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++) {
arr[i] = (rand() % MAX_VAL);
}
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++) {
printf ("%d\n", arr[i]);
}
return 0;
}
When I run this I get almost identical numbers each time:
tyler@Tylers-MacBook-Pro hw2 % ./MergeSort
11
16
16
21
16
tyler@Tylers-MacBook-Pro hw2 % ./MergeSort
21

tyler@Tylers-MacBook-Pro hw2 % ./MergeSort

Why is my random number generator only giving me the values: 1, 6, 11, 16 and 21? This makes no sense to me. I made sure to seed it and the numbers aren't always in the same order which is what makes this even more confusing. As a side note I am using OSX.
