Reset variables in C++?

[fourthdimension]

Hey

I'm writing a small program in C++. What I want it to do is spit out random binary until it is terminated (kind of like one of those hacker movies. lol). The code I have now works, but I have to create a new variable for each number I want displayed. Is there a way to reset the variable after each use so I can use just one variable in an infinite loop? Here's what I have now:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
static const int MAX = 2;
const int number, number2, number3, number4, number5 /*etc*/ = rand() % MAX;
while (number == number)
{
cout<< number <<number2 <<number3 <<number5 /*etc*/;
}
return 0;
}



Like I said, this code works (although I'll be the first to admit it's ugly), I'd like to achieve a better effect by using one single random variable and just resetting it after each use so that another random value is stored in it. How would I do that?
Thanks a lot.

You could just do this:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
static const int MAX = 2;

while (1)
{
cout << rand() % MAX;
}
return 0;
}

Also consider seeding the random number generator.



#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
...

int main()
{
srand( time(0) );
...
}
