I'M having trouble understanding a few lines of this program, the first one is srand(time(NULL));
I'M assuming srand is the function so what is time in this code. Also, if this line is generating a random number where is it storing the number, I don't see a variable anywhere.
And the line r = rand_0toN1(6) + 1, what's the + 1 all about? Thanks.
