why not use the rand() ?
manual says:
rand -- Generate a random value
Description
int rand ([int min [, int max]])
If called without the optional min, max arguments rand() returns a
pseudo-random value between 0 and RAND_MAX. If you want a random number
between 5 and 15 (inclusive), for example, use rand (5, 15).
Remember to seed the random number generator before use with srand().
