While gazing into my crystal ball, I saw a message from Jim Robin to All

 Your compiler should have a function called random() or something similar.
(written for Borland Turbo C++)
#include 
#include 
main()
{
randomize();  // Resets the random number generator seed using current time
int dice_roll = random(6) + 1; // Random(int mod) generates a random value
                               // between 0 and mod-1
}
