how to generate number in c++

To generate a random number in C++, you can use the <random> library. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Include the <random> library at the beginning of your code:

#include <random>

1. Create an instance of the random number generator engine. You can use the std::random_device class to obtain a random seed for the generator:

std::random_device rd;
std::default_random_engine generator(rd());

1. Define the range of numbers you want to generate. For example, if you want to generate random numbers between 1 and 100, you can use the std::uniform_int_distribution class:

std::uniform_int_distribution<int> distribution(1, 100);

1. Generate a random number using the generator and distribution:

int random_number = distribution(generator);

Here's the full example code:

#include <iostream>
#include <random>

int main() {
    std::random_device rd;
    std::default_random_engine generator(rd());
    std::uniform_int_distribution<int> distribution(1, 100);

    int random_number = distribution(generator);

    std::cout << "Random number: " << random_number << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

This code will generate a random number between 1 and 100 and print it to the console. You can adjust the range and data types as per your requirements.
