Then, we use the srand function to set the random number seed, which can be obtained by using the time function to get the current time as the seed. Next, we use a for loop to iterate through the array and assign each element a random value using the rand function. Finally, we use another for loop to print the values of the array.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the rand function generates pseudo-random numbers, resulting in the same random number sequence every time the program runs. To avoid this issue, we typically use the srand function to pass different seed values to the rand function, ensuring a different random number sequence each time the program is run. In the example above, we use the current time as the seed value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To assign values to an array using the rand function, follow these steps: Firstly, it is necessary to include the header file, which contains the declaration of the rand function.
