Generating random characters in C.

Posted by: kahgoh on: 21 July, 2008

In C, when you type cast an integer to a character, the character that is assigned is the ASCII character corresponding to that number.  This property can be used to generate a set of random of characters, as follows:

1   #include <stdio.h>
2   #include <stdlib.h>
3   #include <time.h>
4  
5   int main(int argc, char *argv[])
6   {
7       char randChar = ‘ ‘;
8       int counter = 0;
9       [...]
