Calling A Function - SOS

[jxe217]

I'm having an issue with my program when I call the "drawCardFace" and "drawCardSuit" functions. The function calculates and gives one answer the first time I call it. And then uses that same answer the next 4 times I call it. Can someone explain what I need to do to fix that? I've tried just about everything I can come up with. Thank you!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

void drawCardFace (int & face)
{
	srand ((unsigned)time(0));
	face = (rand()%13)+1;
}
void drawCardSuit (int & suit)
{
	suit = (rand()%4)+1;
}
void displayCardFace (int face)
{
	if ((face >= 2) && (face <= 10))
		cout << face;
	else if (face == 1)
		cout << "Ace";
	else if (face == 11)
		cout << "Jack";
	else if (face == 12)
		cout << "Queen";
	else if (face == 13)
		cout << "King";
	else
	{
		cout << "Error! Invalid card face." << endl;
		exit (0);
	}
}
void displayCardSuit (int suit)
{
	if (suit == 1)
		cout << " of spades";
	else if (suit == 2)

	else if (suit == 3)
		cout << " of diamonds";

Try calling srand() right at the top of main() and only do it once (delete all the other times you call it). I did this and it seemed to fix the problem with the player getting dealt the same card twice.
