Problem with rand_max

[delideluca]

I want to generate random numbers between 1-10. I thought this was accurate code. But, in every case I get a really large number.

In one case I got tall1 = 6749516
and tall2 = 6749520

What am I writing wrong?

  //Include header files
#include<stdio.h>				// printf, scanf
#include<stdlib.h>				//rand + srand
#include<time.h>				//time

int main(void)

{
//Initializing constants
int tall1 = 0;
int tall2 = 0;

srand(time(NULL));			

//Draw to random numbers from 1-10
tall1 = rand() % 10 + 1;
printf("Tall1 = %d \n", &tall1);
tall2 = rand() % 10 + 1;
printf("Tall2 = %d \n", &tall2);

I know that srand(time(NULL)) counts every second from 1970 (or something) - is that what I'm getting?

The problem is with the "&tall1" You see that little "&" symbol before it? Remove it and it will fix your problem.

OH. Thanks! That worked. (Phew).

Do you know what happened when I printed &tall1?

&tall1 gives you a pointer to tall1, but a pointer type does not match the format specifier %d so the behavior is undefined.
