not quite as it was written. To generate pseudo-random numbers, the Rand ()
function is used. It generates numbers based on the base. If the database is not changed, the sequence of pseudo-random numbers will be the same. To set the base of the pseudo-random number generator, the SRAND ()
function is used. Its argument is the value of the base. A combination of Srand (Time (NULL)
sets the current time as a base. This technique is often used so that with different launches of the pseudo-random number generator there was every time a different base and, accordingly, different row of obtained values.
