Need help with generating random number of people

closed account (i8bjz8AR)
I need help with generating a random number of pirates that will be voting on 10 laws. I have used rand and srand to generate random numbers that each pirate will be uniquely assigned to, used to vote, but now i need to assign these random numbers to a random number of pirates. Each pirate may or may not vote every time either, that being "yes" or "no" for two candidates. Can anybody help me out? Thanks!
