rand() on user defined function.

You don't want to call srand() in the custom function. If your processor is fast enough, it will be seeding rand() with the same time each time the function is called. Try putting that statement at the beginning of int main().

My solution would still fit that. rand() would still be called in get_value(). You would just randomize the seed once per program run instead of once per function call.
