hello, i''m trying to make a black jack game for my data structurs class, and for some reason Visual C++ 6.0 can''t find the randomize() function. what header file is it in? i thought it was stdlib.h, but i''m still gettin the same error. if anyone has experienced the same problem, and knows how to get around it please let me know. thanks. -uncreativ president halosoft, inc. halosoft.hypermart.net

randomize is a visual basic function and doesn''t exist for VC++.
use srand(UINT seed) instead. pass the current system time to the srand function to get real random numbers.

To be more specific:

At the beginning of your program, put
srand(time(NULL));
to send a random seed to the random number generator. You only have to do this once your entire program.
Then when you need a random number,
int randomNumber = rand();

thanks. it works perfectly.
