functions and functors

[yhu420]

Hello everyone,
Today I just found out I couldn't use a function in the generate() function (included in <algorithm>. I know I have to use functors but my question is just, why can't I use functions?
Here's some code

#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

int nbalea()
{
    return rand()%10;
}

int main()
{
    srand(time(0));
    vector<int> tab(100,0);

    generate(tab.begin(), tab.end(), nbalea());


    cout << "There are " << count(tab.begin(), tab.end(), 5) << " 5 in the array" << endl;
    return 0;
}

Every answer is very appreciated

Try to change this statement

generate(tab.begin(), tab.end(), nbalea());

to

generate(tab.begin(), tab.end(), nbalea);

Also you can substitute

vector<int> tab(100,0);

for

vector<int> tab(100);

The result will be the same.
