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

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int hello = 0;

srand(time(0));

hello = 1 + rand() % 2;

cout << hello;

return 0;

}

Perhaps that may help. srand is similar to rand apart from it seeds it. The time in brackets tells the proram to take the current time of the system clock and produce a randomn event based on it. This program will print a 1 or a 2 depending.

I hope this helps you in the right direction

yea that should help, thank you very much
muchos gracias
