Manx help
ran() should only be used if you need a floating point random number. If
you're interested in integer stuff (which is the usual case), you say
something like:
foo () {
int val;
val = rand(); }
rand() is similar to ran(), except that it returns an integer between 0 and
32767. If you need a range between say 1 and 50, you'd say something along
the lines of:
val = (rand() % 50) + 1;
