C++ Random Numbers

[wildgoosespeeder]

I am familiar with rand() in C++ but I am looking for an alternative similar to C# that has a bit more precision for use with floats or doubles. Does such a thing exist?


//C# Random number between 0 - 99
Random random = new Random();
double randomDouble = random.NextDouble(); //Generates a 15-digit double between 0 and 1.
randomDouble *= 100;
int randomInt = (int)Math.Floor(randomDouble);



//C++ Random number between 0 - 99
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
void main()
{
   srand(time(NULL));
   int random = rand() % 100;
}

So basically you want to be able to output random number using C# that has support for doubles/floats?

For example randomly it generates something like 42.69 or 79.37

Is that what you are trying to accomplish with C#? I can probably help you but I need a little more clarity. Thanks.

No, I know how to do that in C#. What I am asking is if it is possible to do that in C++ without using rand() as the older method.

If you know how to implement this in some way... ...it's going over my head here: www.cplusplus.com/reference/random/?kw=random
